By the same 'reasoning,' one would have to conclude that the lines on the original form were fabricated, since they don't consistently stay even with Moncton's grid.

It is apparent that you regard yourself as knowledgeable and intelligent, but the notion that a form printed on a printing press must conform to the constraints of a typewriter implies either a level of ignorance or stupidity too great to support such a belief in yourself.

It boggles the mind sometimes to see the lengths at which obots will stretch the bounds of reality.

And if that's what I was asserting I would agree with that assessment. But since that's not what I said, you can torch the strawman till it burns bright and I'll just roll my eyes.

Note the obvious curves of the image along the entire left margin. The original birth certificate (being on a flat sheet of paper) would not show this curvature, so it's apparent that there is distortion to the image incurred in the copying/scanning processes. This is further seen in observing that the typeset lines (which should be perfectly horizontal) and Moncton's overlay lines (which should be perfectly horizontal) should be perfectly parallel in all points. But they aren't.

The distortion added in the copying/scanning process makes it pointless to then overlay horizontal lines and claim (based on this single instance of using that technique) that it proves something.
