Here&#x27;s the problem right here:<p>&#x27;...threatens to undermine the deep faith people have placed in the technology.<p>&#x27;&quot;And it&#x27;s not faith they should not have had to begin with,&quot; says Keith Inman, who teaches forensic science at California State University, East Bay.&#x27;<p>And that&#x27;s clearly wrong. Someone without sufficient statistical ability and without any incentive to look for problems dreamed up a protocol and it was accepted (with &quot;deep faith&quot; no less) without justification.<p>And the academics who should be the most disinterested seekers after truth isn&#x27;t willing to call this mistaken, but we&#x27;re supposed to pretend no one could have seen this coming.
