"Faxing changes a document in so many ways, large and small, that analyzing a memo that had been faxed -- -in some cases not once, but twice -- -was virtually impossible. The faxing destroyed the subtle arcs and lines in the letters. The characters bled into each other. The details of how the typed characters failed to line up perfectly inside each word were lost."

Probably seems credible to those who are utterly ignorant of FAX protocols.

Actually, the physical act of scanning introduces irregularities that can make a word processed document look less perfect and more like a typewritten one.

It does not explain the fact that the CBS defenders have never produced any document from the 1970s that matches the Bush document. Or any typewriter from the 1970s that can match it.

You mean faxing a document doesn't change the font from Fixed Courier to Proportional Times New Roman with the same word wrap as MS Word and the the fake kerning used by TrueType?
