Writings and claims, right. I could write books and make claims too, that doesn't make them facts. I want to know why that person you're talking about made genuine claims that represent facts. Why not Christianity or Islam? Why Baha'i?
First: I think you are right anyone can write books making any sort of claims. There are many claimants as well, not just your hypothetical proposition to advance your own claims. They claim to perform miracles. This is a big red flag, because it is not possible to violate natural laws. I don't think Baha'u'llah actually claims supernaturalist feats nor is he a supernaturalist.
Second: This is a complicated question and I don't think it can be addressed in a simple forum response. But in short: Baha'u'llah's claims surpasses the definitions set up by the Bible and Quran. I also found that Baha'u'llah is an atheist who used the word "God" as a literary device or motif.
Third: I am not a theistic Baha'i.
