A wise man once told me, "if you lie, make sure no one can verify it, like, I slept with Marilyn Monroe, she's dead, prove I'm lying"
Considering the age of the document it's hard to determine it's accuracy one way or the other unless it does something like contradict itself.
So acknowledging a "typo" is admitting that the document may not be 100% accurate. This was just an obvious inaccuracy and proves itself.
Reminds me of The Far Side cartoon where God is playing Jeapordy and the score is God some ridiculous number and the opponents 0.
Gary Larson said that he had considered illustrating the other contestants with some low score but that would have indicated that God was fallible and he thought it wrong to have the creator being bested even once by his creation.
