Well, if the original documents have been destroyed and witnesses eliminated, then yes.
HI conveniently uses a system where representations of originals have been certified legal equivalents of originals, so whatever the representations purport to prove is prima face proof - especially if the originals don’t exist. Burn the originals, surreptitiously tweak the data, expire the witnesses (so tragic a coincidence that O’s grandmother died just before BC investigators interviewed her) ... sometimes truth is a dead issue.
Agree with you there. Truth is dead when others kill it.
