Sorry, but I think it's a fascinating question only in the same sense that the question of whether we evolved or were created 6000 years ago, or the question of whether 9/11 was the work of islamist terrorists or a plot by the US government to justify invading Afghanistan and Iraq are "fascinating". Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare. Deal with it.
