I think that you are reading too much into what I am saying.

To strip the argument to it's bare bones, when we say that a piece is "good", ie authentic, based on hard evidence, we are probably correct.

When we say that a piece is "bad" ie fake/repro, based on a lack of examples, we are on thin ice since our sample base is woefully inadequate to claim that it is representative.
