“Our point clouds are so technologically mysterious we can’t even visualize them” is the tell. That isn’t expert judgment, it’s a claim about a file format, and it’s falsifiable in an afternoon: a plaintext point cloud opens in any free viewer (CloudCompare, MeshLab) and you can read the point count straight off the file. The article already demonstrates it with third-party visualizations. The “funding applications don’t exist” line fell the same way, to a second FOI request to the ministry. The unsettling part isn’t the lying. It’s that the falsification was handed to the court and changed nothing about the museum’s credibility on the remaining issues.
