You haven’t proven anything about the history of technology. If you don’t even understand what the proper government title is, how are do you have any credibility on what the technology is?? The system in Hawaii was changed in 2001. It’s not based on 25-year-old technology. The current state registrar, Alvin T. Onaka Ph.D., was actively involved in upgrading and changing that system in 2000 and 2001. All this stuff about decades-old/25-year-old technology just shows that you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.
The source data is 25 years old. Modernizing the software doesn’t magically turn it into a clean 1200dpi 24-bit original.
As for title, excuse me for using the title used by the poster I was replying to, who wasn’t you.
