I don't think those cases are very exhonerating. When asked to comment on what is or isn't true Abengale has cited mundane facts like the number of siblings he has. He has done much to imply the more fanciful stories are indeed based in some truth which this author does an excellent job of using documents to disprove. In fact, most of the more extraordinary episodes in the film such as him passing bar or running a hospital come directly from his book which is supposedly an autobiography.
