If an expert doesn't think it's proven to be a fake and doesn't know that there are people who still claim that it's a fake, that expert isn't going to post about it online. So what you're seeing is an unrepresentative sample.

Also, it's difficult to prove something's not a fake, and impossible to prove that an online image is not a fake. So the best an expert could say is that there's not enough evidence to conclude that the online image is a fake. And, in fact, several have said that.

I really have no expertise,but this makes sense to me

Harrison proposes the following thought experiment to understand why the white dots prove the document is a forgery:

•Imagine a window envelope, of the type used by banks for statements, in which the address of the client shows through a clear plastic window.

•There are two layers of paper visible to the observer: the envelope and the portion of the contents visible through the transparent “hole” in the envelope.

•Now imagine taking a picture of that envelope and printing the picture: What was previously the composite of two pieces of paper is now just one piece of paper.

•With the envelope in hand, the contents could be removed and the bank statement read.

•With only the picture of the envelope in hand, no part of the statement is visible or retrievable, except the address.

•Now take just one more step in the experiment: Place a small, opaque adhesive sticker on the transparent envelope window, so that it covers just one letter in the address on the bank statement inside, take another picture of the envelope and print it.

•On the envelope, you can remove the sticker, and again you can see the complete address. You can still open the envelope and read the entire statement.

•On this new picture, however, you can erase the image of the sticker, or perhaps cut it out, but you will not be able to see the letter covered by it – the camera cannot capture what it cannot see – and you still cannot get access to the statement.
How exactly does this apply to the Obama birth certificate?

Harrison explains:

•Recall the adhesive dot on the window envelope in the thought experiment: The picture of the window envelope did not have the information under the dot, even if the dot was cut out of the picture, or somehow “erased.”

•Just as the paper of the envelope, and the adhesive dot added to the window on the envelope, both obscured the statement kept inside, both of the images (dots and background safety paper) obscure the blue background, because both the white dots and the green safety paper are made of opaque color.
“Now ask this question,” he continued. “How does a paper document, scanned by the White House to show to the world, have two opaque colors on the same spot, when the camera – the scanner – cannot see any more than one color for each pixel?

“The answer is, simply, it can’t, and it didn’t. A scanner does not have X-ray vision anymore than a camera does. Any spot on a document that is simply a scan of paper can have only one color associated with it. If there are two, then the document must have been created from multiple images layered together instead of a piece of paper.”

If this is still not clear, the expert suggested the following: Have someone take a picture of you with a football hidden behind your back, not visible to the camera.

“Will you ever be able to extract the football from that picture?” he asked. “Of course not.

“However, if you take a picture of a football, and a separate picture of yourself, you can ‘hide’ the picture of the football behind yourself, using Adobe Illustrator or similar products, simply by placing the picture of yourself ‘in front of’ the picture of the football in the document.

“When done, the football would not be visible to a casual viewer, but could still be retrieved – made visible – using the software that composed the multiple-image document, by turning ‘off’ the image placed in front of the football.”

He stressed that the White House file does not consist of just one image, but nine distinct images merged together, with the first eight positioned “in front of” – that is, so you see them first – the large background image (image 9), consisting of the green “safety paper” and outlines, as well as some text.

Exhibit 15 shows the file, with the first eight images, marked with numbered red boxes, displayed over the ninth (the safety paper background).
