The point is that no-one has shown that the writing is not theirs. So AB certainly could have held the pen.
The most you could say about any named individual is that the writing in the diary doesn't match their known handwriting. If we had a match for Anne's it would be game over. So how many forensic handwriting examiners have seen Orsam's 'evidence' and rushed in to confirm that in their considered opinion Anne held the pen?
Please take a look at the example (the word “things”) from Orsam’s blog that I reposted earlier and let us know whether you see a similarity or not.
Barrett worked as a freelance journalist for years. The idea that he was incapable of writing the diary is laughable. Konrad Kujau never worked as a writer yet he forged 60 volumes of Hitler diaries. Then you point out Barrett often made spelling mistakes. Do you know why magazines and newspapers hire editors and proofreaders?
Also, there are mistakes in the diary and funnily enough they are similar to mistakes made by AB in her correspondence.

The lady we discuss is still alive, so I'm assuming you are merely voicing personal opinions and suspicions about her involvement, rather than making any outright accusations - in which case nobody is obliged to accept what you say or agree with you.
As for zero evidence anyone saw it earlier, did not AB claim to have seen it earlier since it had been in family for decades?
Again, what you need is to stop claiming that Barrett or the Barrett’s were incapable of forging the diary. They absolutely were.
I don't know what to make of the rest of your post, but you are beginning to sound like a school master waving some kind of rule book at me. Please don't. It'll only make your arms tired.
Love,
