What's so different about this than taking a kitchen knife from somebody's home, committing a murder with it and then returning it?

It's that people will more generally trust the logs of the smart device to be correct, than whom the owner of the knife is.

It's more about people putting more trust into smart devices than they should; and the fear this gives me for the future.
