How convincing is this for a forensic point of view?
Sometimes fonts speak louder than words.
"Last summer, CERN was on the verge of announcing a discovery
so critical to understanding the basic building blocks of the universe that it
had been given a divine name: The God particle.
The hunt for the Higgs boson was one of the most expensive and
labor-intensive particle physics projects ever undertaken, and promised
to answer the fundamental but elusive question of why our atoms stick
together in the first place. And yet, when CERN researchers finally
announced that they'd glimpsed the Higgs, the world's first reaction
wasn't to cheer; it was to stifle collective laughter. The institution's
scientists, cradling the most important scientific discovery of the
decade, had chosen to present their findings to a breathless public
using a peculiar font face: Comic Sans MS." How convincing is this for a forensic point of view?
