The main argument that Shakespeare could not have written the plays is that only a well educated member of the aristocracy would have had the time or the knowledge to write such fine literature. This is the argument used in favour of both Edward de Vere and Francis Bacon.
The same argument can be used to show that The Beatles did not write their own music (in fact this argument was used during the early 1960's); that Van Gogh never did any painting; and that Haydn was unable to compose a symphony. (All of these people had as little specialist education as Shakespeare had).
The argument also shows that another great playwright of the Elizabethan era - Ben Jonson - couldn't have written his plays either. (Despite his reputation as an intellectual, Jonson was as uneducated as Shakespeare).
William Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare's plays - nobody else could have.
