"i'll be able to create forgeries, but you wont" -- umm that "forgery" was AWFUL. i've seen your hypothetical 14-year-olds doing better then that

tinyturk, the following is a serious question: is this your first time on youtube? I'm confused by your line of questioning...who are you directing your questions to? I'm not sure if you read my description, but this video was originally aired on the PBS show Nova ScienceNow. I just posted it, so if you are trying to direct your comments to Dr. Farid, you are wasting your time because he'll probably never read any of this. ??? Sounds to me like you are missing the point of the video
