Have you read what "my" experts (though they're really not my experts) have written?
De Queiroz invented a lot of the technology that compressed the birth certificate PDF. He looked at the PDF and saw no evidence of anything not mechanical. On the contrary, he said it looked simply like software compression to him.
And the CCP's corresponding "expert" didn't even know a compressed PDF could have multiple bitmask layers. He said it was impossible, and "proof" of forgery.
But the fact that that was not a problem was published in one of Prof. de Queiroz's specifications on the technology way back in 1999.
And that's basic. So the CCP's "expert" didn't even have a basic understanding of the compression technology.
Most of the CCP's other "experts" were taken to task in Woodman's book and shown to be nothing but quacks.
I mean, that may sound like harsh language, but it's true. I'm just being honest here.
Has any of them scanned an old BC and had one of the numbers come out looking like the “1” here?
Have any of the CCP's experts ever hand-built a document with all the stuff in the Obama PDF, and explained why? No. It just can't be done.
On the other hand, just this week or so, someone figured out what kind of equipment was used to scan and compress the birth certificate image into a PDF. It was a Xerox WorkCenter. And here's a test result.
I've already downloaded it and opened it in Illustrator. You can do the same. It's got the same kind of layers as in the Obama PDF, the same halo, the same separation of stuff that would be on the same layer IF anyone had hand-made the file.
So the birther con game is over, except for determined denialists repeating stuff that's already been proven to be BS. The Constitutional claims are BS, and so are the forgery ones. We even know now what kind of equipment made the PDF. We may not know the exact model number of the machine, but it was a Xerox WorkCenter.
Of course, a lot of us have known the forgery stuff was crap for quite a while now, because we have photographs of the actual paper document that were always different from the PDF.
Oh, and yeah. In answer to your question:
Has any of them scanned an old BC and had one of the numbers come out looking like the “1” here?
Yeah, there are characters on the Xerox WorkCenter-scanned-and-compressed image that came out looking like that "1." Not that exact number on the certificate in this case - which you would never expect due to the fact the experimenter didn't have the original equipment or the original certificate - but other characters on there came out looking just like that. Same effect.
In retrospect, it is all as silly and stupid as hell.
One pdf is worth a thousand walls of text. No need to talk of layers or halos or OCR, compression algorithms, etc.
Just post their scanned output along with a high resolution photo of the original document.
I only want to see the BC number, showing an anomaly similar to the “1” in Obama’s alleged BC number.
No trick documents. The original must be representative of a BC from that era.
State what program, and the settings used to achieve that result.
So easy a 5th grader could do it.
Why are you siding with the Fogbow and Dr. Conspiracy forum posters who did this experiment? They have not been able to produce ANY professional credentials to back up their claims. Not one. That means they have absolutely no credibility and they would not be recognized by any court. On the other hand, Hawaii court recognized forensic and computer-generated document and handwriting expert Reed Hayes has provided his credentials. Obama’s document as confirmed by the authoritative law enforcement agency called the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office and Reed Hayes is a 100% forged document along with his Selective Service Registration card.
