    They aren’t on the same level of fraudulent bullshit, but they’re close.

    Fingerprint matching is done “by eye” and often involves an “expert” saying that one smudge is a 100% match for another smudge.

    DNA matching is the only forensic science that’s worth a damn, and only if it’s done correctly.

      And even that one is useless in case of identical twins.
