If someone says "Well, I think it could have been faked." then I bet many here would automatically label that person as a conspiracy nut.
Life's a lot better when you don't know everything because it leaves room for new information. I certainly don't know everything, but I often get cast aside as a nutter for not immediately agreeing with common assumptions.
Imagine showing a deep fake to someone from just 20 years ago? They'd believe it. It's not hard to imagine that some secretive area of military science is 20-50 years ahead of what civilians know about.

The Soviet Union would have had a vested interest in proving it was a hoax if it were, yet they uttered not a peep of protest. Faking it and keeping that information from getting out, especially over this time span, would be a ludicrously wide-ranging and leakproof conspiracy that continues to this day. [0] Because really, anything is possible. We could all be a Boltzmann Brain that came into being mere instants ago, that's just a useless thing to invest any serious consideration into.
