The handwriting expert also was a witness for a student busted for altering exam document. This guy a shill for whoever is paying his fees:

The committee also has questions regarding the relevance of Mr. Matley's expertise on our proceedings. Why, for instance, would a handwriting expert have more to say on this matter than, say, a forensic document examiner; an expert on paper composition, photocopying processes, or ink chemicals; or simply a statistician? How are we to weigh testimony of a "handwriting expert" in assessing the evidence of violation or innocence? Is a handwriting expert the most relevant authority for assessing the physical and probable elements associated with adjudicating this matter.

Excellent get. It also explains why Rather focused on the matching signatures (ignoring the possibility of photocopied and pasted signatures). That was the ONLY expertise that his expert had.

typewriters, military styles of language and abbreviations, page layout, paper size, would all be hopelessly beyond his competence.
