Beyond a shadow? I dunno. A shadow of doubt doesn't take much to support it.
Beyond a reasonable doubt though, yes.

I share a trait with Dave! (see, got his name to be last in the sentence) I
too will get into debates with people for no good reason, and I spent some
time recently (in Omaha, not that it is relevant) debating this topic with
someone. I just could not shake him.
He admitted it would be hard to fake and might even have cost more to fake
than what was claimed to have been spent on actually doing it. But he
remained convinced it was faked.

I'll acknowledge its possible but would assign the probability as several
orders of magnitude less than 1%. That is I am not sure if the probability
is .001% or .0000000001% but it is small. IMHO.
