You’re assuming someone in the process is in the position to apply sanity. More likely, they operate as “call-taker puts every call into GovJira, investigators are required to investigate in order to close a GovJira ticket”

Apple does this, the Health app gives me a “headphone audio level” historical graph along with its opinion of what’s safe. I’m guessing they only do that with their headphones where they know the volume-decibel response, as you say. Same wi

I've never really wanted to do this before, but I want to figure out how to place a bet against this story being true in any meaningful sense.

But it’s a fundamentally different type of security bug: these biometrics bypasses require knowing something about the user (lift a fingerprint, picture of a face, etc). I see this as a different class: I can grab an unknown person’s Pixel

Okay, but fooling a biometrics sensor is not exactly a Lock Screen bypass. Has iOS had a Lock Screen bypass?

If “useful to compel” is a criteria, we can jump straight to flat-out lying and dispose with the statistics part.
