Did Obama really go to Harvard?

The orange line should be horizontal to get the correct position of Obama's wrist:

Where in the photogrammetry literature does it discuss using computer generated humanoid figures as proportion references?

 

[Anders Lindman]

So I suppose the paperwork at Harvard is all faked?

What do you mean by all? The conspiracy theory is that at least the documents with the name Barack Obama have been faked.

You can see by the shadow of the staff that it is held close to the body. That means a similar angle of the right forearm as the 3D model.

Therefore that's what Anders believes without question or subsequent thought.

What relevance does your question have?

If you don't know the relevance, then you're not qualified to conduct such an investigation. Answer it.

You're bluffing, right? I don't think you know the relevance of your question yourself. I'm calling you out! Explain what relevance your question has.

 

[JayUtah]

You're bluffing, right?

Nope.

I don't think you know the relevance of your question yourself.

Of course I do. Unlike you, my photographic analysis is published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Unlike you, I am a consulted expert in the field.

I'm calling you out! Explain what relevance your question has.

Nice try on the turnabout. Sorry, no hints from the teacher.

Answer the question, or admit you can't.

Hey! Isn't it you who claim to be an expert on everything from rocket science to vaccine efficacy? lol. I think you're bluffing. Big time.

So all the people who went to Harvard with Obama, all of his professors, and all of the adminstrative staff are lying? Or were they all photoshopped in too?

Even knowing that you're a troll, I don't understand why you would decide to ask this only after two failed attempts to bat his question aside...

"A search of the Harvard University Library digital image collection appears to reveal that group pictures of graduate students from 1988 through 2003 are missing from the collection. Obama was in the graduating class of 1991. However, Obama is shown in this picture, of the Harvard Law Review for 1990-91. He's in the center. This is the only record in the database the comes up using the string "Obama"." -- http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2118690/posts

You don't need to be a professor in photographic analysis to see that the image has been photoshopped.

Yes but when actual experts look at the photo and see no problems with it you have to take a breath, man up and at least consider the possibility that your own mental anomaly detection software might need some debugging.

I've been using Photoshop for personal and professional use for nearly 20 years and I don't detect any of the classic telltale signs of digital manipulation in that photo. His arm looks a little weird, but everyone in the photo looks a little weird if you are bound and determined to go anomaly-hunting.

Oh my god! Harvard doesn't exist!!!

Because, of course, the Harvard University Library digital image collection is the only relevant source of data.

Can you see anyone else with a too low arm or something like that?

No, but I think I can spot someone in this thread with a too high paranoia or something like that.

Are you seriously suggesting that Obama didn't go to Harvard and that everyone at Harvard is in on the conspiracy including everyone else in that photo?

Do you ever tire of your perverse nonsense?
