[Ha Ha Thats Very Logical]

when scanning a document, there is one thing that is HIGHLY unlikely to happen...
to produce perfect black pixels. these are pixels whose rgb value is 0,0,0

But post-scan processing can change text to perfect black for file compression purposes. Google "mixed raster compression"--one of the patent-holders has said the BC anomalies look like the result of that.

then it would have happened more uniformly and not only on a few fields

also, we should be able to find the exact same thing happening to other birth certificates from the same scanning batch (year/book)

would be trivial to prove, if its real...

of course, we not allowed to see the other birth certificates from that day...
