If his analysis is flawed, then you should be able to say how.

A digitized image published on the internet can not be analyzed to determine whether or not the original, hard copy is a forgery. The only exception would be if the information on the internet image were demonstrably false. Just the fact that Polarik would attempt such an analysis is a red flag.

If you're interested in and more detailed and technical analysis, here it is.

Obviously you haven't seen Polarik video's proving that the Factcheck pictures are of a forgery.

Essentially you have just admitted that there is no way that Obama's COLB posted on line can ever be proved to be real as well.

It CAN be used to determine if the image itself was manipulated/created. In that case, the digital picture is suspect [in regards to the original].

Because there is nothing other than the digital image with which to work it DOES make sense to question the authenticity of the source (that is verify it).
