I feel for the many different types of forensic labs. These forensic labs have their own brand of "Never the twain shall meet" while they do blind analysis especially when the lead crime investigator has to clue them in ("fentanyl", in one case). When doing network-based forensic, just because a "ping" happened, doesn't mean that "causation equal correlation". Worse is the misuse of end-users' search history; a lone query made 7 years ago being used as a lead-in (but lone) evidence to a suspect's alleged behavior. Really? Or an innocuous Google Scholar watch doing a trapping of some suspected but heavily watched URL? One simple lab exercise of such forensic analysis is a reconstruction on the chaining of events given a set of evidence; it gets hilarious at times to see such "conspiratorial-like" theories. Now the world witness the continuing saga of misusage of statistics from the US FDA VARS database being flooding with death by COVID inoculants.
