With this I tend to agree. Your credulity is unbelievable.

Holy batmobiles, man, how can you believe that? You weren't
there. How can you assert that there was a real ID by hearsay? Even
if you go by the blog posting that opened this discussion, most of
the people rpesent did not see this so called real ID. Even if the
blog posting was not exaggerated, all you need is a bunch of people
in cahoots to play a prank to assure you there was an ID -- and you
fell for it.
How do you know this is not an ongoing prank to gull the
community into believing there identiy of the person tunning this was
not fake?
The best you can assert is that in your belief such a hoax
would be unheard of, hard to credit, too much work.
I would have asserted that a DD would not try to trick people
into signing keys, and not immediately dovulge such a trick before
people signed keys -- expriment was over long before.
I'll post more about hat under a separate title.
