Debunking of the CoRNey coMey situation

1. When you pull up a PDF document that is a rasterized scan, you are not looking at ascii encoded text. You are looking at an image.
2. When you do a text search on it, an OCR operation is being performed.
3. It is a KNOWN artifact that "rn" and "m" are confused in OCR operations. For Extremely obvious RIGHT IN YOUR FACE reasons. https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-archive/2012Jun/0026.html
4. You can debunk this CoRNey thing easily by searching this RASTERIZED PDF for other words that no one is being sneaky about.Examples:
cornpany
govemrnent
Sussrnann
corning
forn
5. If you fell for this, and didn't put in the 1 minute it takes to debunk it by simply searching the doc to ensure it wasn't simply an artifact, you seriously need to rethink some shit.
6. If you attacked me for pointing this out, you are a prick. But I'm still going to watch your show because you are pro af and your show is the best.
