Do you actually have a response or are you just being contemptuous and dismissive to amuse yourself at my expense?

Well, if you put it that way... :-P

It's well understood that quantity -- and availability to the masses -- has a quality all its own.

I do believe we're facing an arms race, in which purveyors of synthesized bullshit will likely fight the defenders of truth to a draw at best, and more likely win. No disrespect intended but I don't agree that your Photoshop analogy is valid.
