There is 2000 years of history between when the 13 year curse started and now. If it was fake, some time between then and now a power hungry titan shifter would have held on to their power longer than 13 years and realized it was all a hoax. Also, as pointed out, only the founding titan combinded with a human of royal blood results in the titan shifter being completely overwhelmed by the titan's ideology. Finally, we have seen flash backs to Rod's brother, i forget his name. Anyways, he aged very quickly towards the end of his term with the founding titan. To me, that is proof that their is something physical taking a toll on titan shifters.
