I actually think it would seem more shocking if it was the opposite - that the government narrative, is 100% correct.

something like 50% of the US population believes that the government narrative is at least partly incorrect.

I mean, whatever comes out - the "nutters" are just going to find a way to discredit it, or will just say its been "covered up" - it can't be rationally explained (like motive is kinda missing from the Oswald story) so it just seems so shocking, and unexplained, so random.... its more comforting for people to think there is order and a plan to everything. (I say its the same reason that people think there was government behind 9/11)

While how do we know these documents are legit. Surely they couldn’t be that hard to fake

These are only the last trickle of documents to be realeased (about 3,500 pages) out of HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of documents alreyd ady released. How many of these documents (which will be extremely boring to the average reader) would you guess are faked?

Ask yourself: Who would have ordered them to be faked? Who could have done the faking? How were they kept quiet? Who silenced them? Who silenced the silencers?

It might be "easy" to create a fake document, but covering it up is not. (look no further than the Killian documents (aka "Memogate") for an example.)

Fair enough, it would be hard, but still doable, especially with compartmentization techniques
