Oh lord, this is firmly off that point. An alert motivated human looking for fakes can identify them with nigh perfect accuracy. This means that it should be possible to build an autonomous system that can do the same which is the goal of biometric auth systems. There is nothing that fundamentally breaks biometric auth until you can burn fingerprints on someone or replace eyes or gene therapy new DNA or whatever. And even then that’s pretty damn strong.

Exactly, every keeps going on about magic social engineering attacks without providing details.

Anyone who has had their fingerprints taken by the FBI knows that there is a solid procedure that will detect fakes. The idea is to replicate this near perfection, not bolt on some revocation system for fingerprints (ouch!)
