Nice to see Alan sticking his oar back into the public discourse, below; I’ve been too occupied to muse on the bigger picture of the Post Office/Horizon scandal, but in a world of bitflips from cosmic-ray events (not to mention as Alan does: malware) perhaps the law needs to stop relying on data which lacks a chain of proof of integrity and correctness?

One spreadsheet cell isn’t evidence, it’s an anecdote?
