Think the forged "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", the "Howard Hughes Will", the "Hitler Diaries", the "Oath of a Freeman", and a great many others.

Yes, but even though their contents have meaning and may have been composed with care, those forgeries are "uninteresting" because they do not provide any useful information about the alleged subject or anything else.  The contents may reveal who forged them, when, and why, and sometimes that may be interesting.  But nowhere as interesting as the contents would be if the books were genuine...
