"When a copy is NOT a copy..."
I'm thinking financial statements, drug dosage, and the list goes on.
The more we depend on technology, the more we're subject to things like this...
Helen Collis recently posted this story in the U.K. Daily Mail:
"A researcher in Germany has discovered a major glitch in Xerox machines which have shown to substitute the wrong numbers when scanning documents.
After scanning a blueprint document from an architect, David Kriesel, a computer science researcher at the University of Bonn in Germany, thought the firm was pulling his leg when they accused him of altering some figures.
But sure enough, on three occasions, the number six had been replaced with an eight."
