I agree with this interpretation. Denial of God as an unforgivable sin makes sense in the context of denying something you know to be true and divine, and knowingly pretending otherwise for whatever reason, often a personal gain.
If you were to have personal knowledge through revelation or as a direct witness of a certain scripture being directly written by God and you claimed otherwise, you would be sinning. If you only have fallible statements about the topic from other humans, and you're not personally certain of their truth, saying so isn't sinful, because you're not lying about it in any way.

Moses saying "nah these tablets aren't divine in origin it's all lies" would get him smitten, some random dude hearing fourth-hand about the tablets and saying "I heard that, but take it with a grain of salt it could just be some mountain weirdo carving stones for fun" would not be exactly offensive to the divine.
