I don't disagree, however, my real point is that the sophistication needed to pull off the previous steps of the fraud is much greater than the level of sophistication needed to carry out interspersing of the fabricated data, in any of the scenarios. I think that's important, because it's a way to keep the high ground with all the baseless claims, and put the burden back on the idiot making the claim. Make them try to at least make logical sense of what their claiming.Dean Robbers, one point. Using "why would they be so stupid to do it this way" is, in my opinion, an unreliable rule of thumb. With hindsight, one can always spot mistakes. In fact, making mistakes is often how fraudsters get caught.
Certainly, in times like this, the bulk of the argument comes in the form that Doc gave in his link, with good people of the earth actually tracing down the hard answers. But I'm always looking for ways to get out of the defensive position, as the idiots making the baseless claims should be the ones playing defense.
