Thomas North's language from all his published works is all over the canon, in thousands of lines and passages. We already know that lines from North's other work are right there in the Roman plays.
Even more irrefutable, lines from North's unpublished 1555 Travel to Journal to Italy (which explains why Shakespeare knew about Giulano Romano, amongst other things); and the unpublished manuscript by his cousin George North at their family library; and marginalia in Thomas North's surviving books are clearly used in the plays and even contain an outline for Cymbeline.
There are now two options
1.) Shakespeare plagiarised everything North wrote, including somehow his unpublished writings
2.) North wrote the original plays
If the above isn't smoking gun evidence then what would you consider a smoking gun?
