You don't know that. All you know is that there was no searchable text in the PDF file posted online. The final PDF was apparently prepared on a Mac.

This is all just a hypothetical exercise in how computer programs might have produced the anomalies we see without intentional manipulation. I still find that scenario easier to swallow than the idea that someone copied bits and pieces of lots of different documents--one capital 'R' from this one, a different capital 'R' from another one--and assembled them into a file that reveals layers in Illustrator but not Photoshop.

He is arguing that it was the unintended consequence of making a copy of the document by using software that was intended to generate a searchable text file. This begs the question? Does the State of Hawaii not own a Xerox machine?
