Forensics starts with actually using your eyes...
Not sure what the implication of that statement is.
Are you saying I needed to post commentary on the original image before I posted commentary on the image error level analysis? If so, I didn't have anything useful to add to what was already said.
Or are you implying that the original image is so obviously faked that the error analysis is superfluous? If so, I disagree because I think it adds some easily seen evidence.
Or is it something else?
