So the forger provides him with "those famous signed cuts" that used THAT BOOK to create the examples and he matches it up and it's a go for a certificate? I have authentic exemplars of both, but a man whose job it is to know signatures doesn't? So anyone who has this book can be an authenticator?

Well written, Dan. How about the part when he (Morales) was asked by the judge "Did you perform an ink analysis?" and he (Morales) replies "I looked at the ink." Is that how a real "forensic examiner" replies to a question like that!!!??? And some of his exemplars where photographs he took at the Smithsonian!!!??? What the heck....!!!
