Most of the time it is just a visual that gets an item rejected or passed, or who has already authenticated the item, or who you know.

Dave, that's my point. Chris Morales is not an authenticator, he is a "Forensic Investigator" as per his website and his COA. There is a big difference between a "Forensic Investigator" and "Autograph Authenticator."
When I communicated with a number of FDE's (Forensic Document Examiners) and inquired about examining signatures (vintage) on a baseball, the ones that responded wrote that the first two items they would start with would be the substrate (the baseball) and the ink. That's what "forensic" people do.
What "Forensic" analysis does Chris Morales really perform when he can't even determine that certain signatures were traced? Think about that.
