They are saying that, and most real world LED lighting uses very cheap diodes, like, 99.9999% of them, which create very poor colour compared with incandescent bulbs, which create perfect colour representation.
It's a big thing and you can buy LEDs which produce a better colour range, but they're much more expensive and not as energy efficient, because creating bold reds costs hard energy that no diode trick will ever get around that.
I'm sure the trip to the police station and immediate release is a real setback for these people. Unless they're breaking more serious laws, no one is paying to put these people behind bars for any length of time.
I mean, you're right in theory, but in the real world things are very different.
Extremely talented, studied, hard working humans perform complex tasks all the time, and never with 100% win rate over all time.
In other examples, almost every single person has had the experience of saying, "turn right", "oh I meant left sorry, I knew it was right too, I don't know why I said left". Even the most sophisticated humans have made this error. A computer would never.
Humans are deeply flawed and after pre-selection require expensive training to perform complex tasks at a never perfect success rate.
Seems like you're making a judgment based on your own experience, but as another commenter pointed out, it was wrong. There are plenty of us out there who would confirm, because people are too flawed to trust. Humans double/triple check, especially under higher stakes conditions (surgery).
Heck, humans are so flawed, they'll put the things in the wrong eye socket even knowing full well exactly where they should go - something a computer literally couldn't do.
It could never be anywhere near as irresponsible as the original bad security practices, though. At some point, if you wanna make money by handling people's sensitive data, you are the responsible party, not everyone else.
