“I agree with what your are saying, but bored teenagers don’t have to use photoshop. They can get ahold of vintage typewriter. There are always some at the flea market. Figuring out what content to put in is getting easier using the internet. Finally getting all the finishing touches like printing to paper, then filling it in with the typewriter, then aging the paper can all be done pretty well with practice.”

OHm c’mon, the details here are beyond the expertise of teens, at least American teens. First of all, they would have concocted a birth certificate, and not a certified copy with a date 3 years after the fact; and one in which the logic works perfectly. Right down to the usage of the word “nil.” That’s way beyond the sophistication of a teen.

There is a lot of healthy skepticism on TS, but there is a ton of too-cute-by-half self-flagellators treating this too deeply.
