Plutarch made the key point:
Wait a minute...i was thinking....this is so nuts...but perhaps the bomford certificate is a “created” red herring?
Nuts is right. The resolution is so good on the Bomford BC,that fakery would be real hard. In retrospect we see now why the resolution was poor on the Orly BC, and it was photographed at an angle. Higher resolution would have given it away.
How do you create a forged photograph at an angle from the original that is photographed dead on?
