There is a variety of complimenting techniques and methods for the identification of restoration, and it would be essentially impossible for even the most sophisticated forger or restorer to 'beat all the tests.' Even the best restorer or forger learns the figurative meaning of Heisenberg's Principal of Uncertainty. The same techniques used to beat one test, invariably will make other tests fail. Most of the qualities-- fluorescence, ir, etc-- are not independant to each other. When one changes the fluorescence, for example, one will simultaneously be changing other qualities.
