I will say this for Prof. Williams. I (and other Oberoners) heard his series of lectures on Shakespeare in 2006 when the RSC was in town.

I am glad that he didn't just pooh-pooh the question like so many other Shakespeare scholars.
If the opportunity arises, maybe we can get this opinion on the question at his upcoming lecture.
