I've known some people for whom it'd be a genuine consideration. Of course, these people don't even really look at -fake- books of that stripe, let alone what purports to be real ones, so it's not like they're serious about it. I suspect that requirement is as much for self-protection as anything else.
As in, "No, officer, see, I -told- them to not make it real. Right there on the sheet. Whatever he burned down, I had nothing to do with it."

this world created by the
hands of the gods
everything is false
everything is a LIE
the final days have come
now
let everything be destroyed
