"Selling" forged Nichiren documents as authentic is as bad as selling super refined motor oil as olive oil or snake oil as a cure for cancer

Paul, lets say there is a pharmaceutical manufacturer whose business is failing because of its location, business plan, product, or whatever. The owner is a less than ethical individual but is extremely clever and comes upon a brilliant but shady idea, a claim of a new type of herbal treatment that cures breast cancer. He does his research and finds out that there is already an effective treatment made from the bark of the African Chincona tree but it is very rare and very expensive. Not deterred, he begins manufacturing his treatment from a Japanese Camphor wood tree. The problem is that his herbal product contains a cancer accelerant as well as an inhibitor. In other words, his product is totally ineffective and may be harmful.

The owner also knows that breast cancer victims are desperate and that despite the great claims he is making, the people and government agencies still require expert testimony as to its effectiveness, especially since the owner is neither well received in the business community nor well respected in the scientific community. Knowing that his treatment is not, at least, superficially dissimilar to the effective formula, he does a library search of the historical records. But he can not find any research or proof to validate his claims in the literature of the research pioneers. He then gets the brilliant idea to buy the rights to several as yet unpublished works of these pioneers but only those who are already deceased. He contacts the estates of these men, hoping for exclusive rights to these manuscripts and offers the relatives a lot of money. They agree. He then goes on to change a word here and a word there, adding and subtracting a formula here and a formula there, including a clinical trial here and one there. He then releases these forged and altered documents. The authorities and the people are thus deceived and he puts his product on the market. The desperate women with breast cancer flock to buy his herbal treatment, foregoing the true and effective treatment for breast cancer.

He is no different than those who sold super refined motor oil for olive oil in Spain, killing hundreds of people or the Priests of the Nichiren Shoshu who alter and forge the documents of Nichiren and Nikko to prove the validity of the DaiGohonzon.
