And let's not forget about the dual ability to not just read, but also print on ballots, effectively allowing you to completely change the paper trail.
Spoting the difference between a written and printed paper doesn't even really need any kind of forensics outside of basic visual inspection, though they are doing forensics to determine the exact origins of the printers, and to find mass balots done with the same pen. Plus doesn't hurt to have the extra reassurance for a judge/jury. Regardless of being able to prove it, it's still not secure as they claim, and even being able to show it was printed doesn't neccessarily prove anything.
