I believe it can be done, but what would normally take a child a few years to master by himself, it would basically take maybe even decades for someone like that. My blind guess is that at best she knew only a small number of words, and she had to practice long and hard to speak phrases for reporters.

>All of her ideas and opinions magically mirrored the feminist views of her caretaker Anne Sullivan.
That's reasonable. I thought you were gonna say something like "she wasn't actually blind&deaf". If her caretaker was feminist or whatever, it makes sense that she'd mirror whatever education she received. Just like so many university students today get brainwashed in the most crazy ideologies.
>Stephen Hawking
Regarding his face blinking or muscle twitching or whatever it was interface, that was more recent indeed. Well into 2010s I think. Made by Intel IIRC. Don't know much about this one, I'm more familiar with his prior, finger-click interface. But I don't think they were that different in one crucial aspect: they were anything but rapid. From my understanding, any speech he made, was in no way "live". He prepared every single word, maybe even weeks in advance, and he'd just hit play when put on the scene. If someone made you think anything he said was "spontaneous" in any way, they basically lied to you.
As for "how long can a dude live with ALS", you'd have to ask his doctors. As far as I'm aware, his case is considered a miracle that they don't really understand yet.
>used him as a front facing sympathetic figure
This one I find hard to believe because interviews and speeches from him are pretty hard to come by, which is odd just going by the fact that he's been called the Albert Einstein of our generation. He's definitely an important figure, but if someone wanted to use him like that, they didn't manage to do it very well. They also chose a poor target, because it would be hard to parade him around to give talks and such, like they do with Greta Thumberg. I'd have an easier time believing this about Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Didn't mean this as a way to "expose" anything. Was legitimate curious, especially about Stephen Hawking, cause I've found him an interesting figure since I was a kid, and read a few books of his.

You guys are so bad at this, you probably couldn't have gotten Hitler to hate "kikes".

No, not really. They're not as useful as they once were, and will forever remain as a more niece market, but they have their place as a fun activity to do with friends.

To clarify a bit, I know Helen Keller was blind and deaf. Don't know what you might mean by scam.

>Okay then let's do those same tests on the Diaries of Anne Frank
I don't have any issues with this.
I feel like I should know what you're referring to surrounding Helen Keller, but I don't. And I have no clue what you think was faked about Hawking. Any clarification on these two things would be appreciated.

Source outside of the pictured article makes me believe it's true. While some reviews on the Amazon page seem copy-pasted or potentially inspired from the article, this seems to come from someone who genuinely read the book.

Define "looked real"? Cause there are tests that can be done on the paper and ink to certify the time period, so you'll know it's not some recent scam someone is pulling.
It could still potentially be a century old prank, of Hitler's war buddies, making it seem like he lost his testicle, but the farther away you get, the least likely it is that someone would hold on to a document they faked for a stupid prank.

Only one I wouldn't quote myself is the guardian one, and not even cause it's The Guardian. But they cite a biography book, that let's face it, it's probably based on rumors and hearsay. At least with the medical stuff you have actual evidence and medical records.
