    I hate that people don’t understand that shitty video can’t be analyzed to get an accurate event reconstruction based on small details. Not saying that this is or isn’t Luigi, I’m saying that trying to utilize what little facial features are available on this bad video shouldn’t be used as evidence against or for his case without other supporting data.

    Poor quality video is not an accurate reconstruction of reality. Compression issues can create visual artifacts like blurring, pixelation, obscuration, or banding. Hell, even different lens types can distort someone’s looks to a huge degree.

      The crazy thing is we now have algorithms that can do the CSI “enhance!” thing. But it’s still just making shit up that seems plausible.

      Once the information is no longer in the image, it’s not there. No amount of fuckery will bring back the real information.
