There's a tad more to the argument than that, but don't let that get in the way of your bitter anti-classicism. In all seriousness, Bryson wrote a damn fine book about Shakespeare that talks about the controversy. The conclusion is basically, we'll never know for sure: almost certainly the Bard wrote >90% of his plays, but it is equally almost 100% likely that a couple of the lesser-known ones aren't really his. The shaky attribution thing was common at the time for various industry reasons. The nuts who say it was Bacon or whatever are just nuts.
