That doesn’t matter. The claim being made by the grandparent post is that the legal system isn’t well-equipped to deal with scenarios like, “yes the digital signature is valid but it was improperly authorized.”
In so many words, Shannon gave a proof showing that in general the sample rate of a digital sensor puts an upper bound on the frequency of any signal that sensor is able to detect.
Unlike the Nyquist-Shannon theory, compressed sensing is not generally applicable: it requires a sparse signal.
As with many other optimization techniques, it’s a trade off between soundness and completeness.
I don’t think it was luck. I think some people are so in tune with their systems that investigating an anomaly like this is a frequent occurrence. This particular anomaly just happened to have an explosive ending.
It’s silly that they do that. I doubt it matters, though. In my experience, querying ChatGPT for factual information like that is a mistake. It isn’t reliably accurate enough.
