No, they were obfuscation attempts to discredit those pointing out the obvious doctoring of this document

Believing it was an innocent OCR process may mean that person is a candidate to buy swampland.

OCR is not the only way that layers appear in a scanned document, there is also MRC.

One (OCR) creates layers of text from document so readers (like a .pdf reader) can have content that can be searched. MRC (link above) breaks the image into multiple layers to compress it while retaining quality. At that, if you look at the link above, you’ll see a lot of the same things pointed out like the ‘white out’ look some have found.

Neither of these items are isolated, they both occur when scanning documents into a filing system like a Keyfile system.

I suggest reading the link above. The problem is graphic artists only work with documents one way, creating layers themselves. They may never have worked with a Keyfile type system to bring in documents for data storage and don’t realize it also creates layers.

Why would there be 50 layers? Not only is this document very suspicious, but it looks to be created by someone who isn't very skilled in Photoshop.

I won’t believe the OCR story until someone shows a video of the following:

1. A copy of the birth certificate coming out of a high-quality printer
2. That copy being scanned in a high-quality scanner
3. The scanned copy being opened in Adobe Illustrator
4. The scanned copy showing identical layers

Until it’s proven by demonstration, it’s not a legit theory.

yes layers can be OCR but NOT THESE KIND OF LAYERS~!!!!!!
