Look at the video and someone good at figuring out the math of probability please tell me what is the probability that the both "b"s would match EXACTLY...right down to the pixel? 50 to 1, 500 to 1? What could someone really say to refute this? It seems like a smoking gun to me (that the document was manipulated) but what do I know.

It's actually highly probable depending on what scanning software is used, because that's what it's supposed to do. To make text more readable, the scanner will sharpen the text by overlaying a high-resolution character that matches the original as best as possible. Every time it does this, it creates a new custom font, which it will repeat when it recognizes another character that's nearly identical.

You can see this same effect in other scanned documents. For example, open this PDF file and observe the L's in the words "Intelligence Bulletin" (among many other cloned letters).

Thank you, I was not aware of that.

Looks like you may have a valid point here. Not sure if its apples & apples, but seems convincing. Especially since it was TOP SECRET, it must be right.

Do you have an explanation for the straight text where it should be curved at the edge of the document caused by the fold of the book it was in?

That would be with OCR trace to import a document and correct the spelling with the option to change the letters.

There is no reason at all to run this type of program on a scan, unless the reason was to manipulatr the scan.

Got that?

So, with your morphing and cloning fonts, an “X” can eventualy be recognized as an “O”, and be translated and printed as such. Very interesting.

So I guess 1961 could eventually be Morph-font-lated to be 2542.

I think your on to something. I once knew someone who would eat mushrooms and be able to do similar things.
