The plays in the First Folio were /not/ new, there is /no/ evidence that Shakespeare’s parents were illiterate (his father actually served a term as mayor), his daughters were /not/ illiterate, there is almost no proof that anyone who lived that long ago wrote any letters, except for politicians (but we do have a letter that someone wrote to him), there is no evidence that Bacon had any skill as a poet or as a playwright (how many hit plays did Einstein write?), and if you use the same sloppy “cryptography” these people use, you can easily “prove” that Bacon wrote “The Song of Hiawatha”.
