The "anti-Statfordian" theory say that William Shakespeare (who we know existed) didn't actually write any of the plays, but acted as a front for some other author. If this mysterious real author wrote all of the texts attributed to Shakespeare, there is really no way to prove or disprove this through any form of textual analysis. But as noted, this is not the question the article at hand is concerned about. No legitimate scholars are taking that theory seriously anyway.
