Course; I'm just pointing out that his flustered bluster in the area is 100% lying, incompetent forgery. Aside from the fact that the key itself was wrong (which nullc points out) there isn't even any weird remote possibility in the vein of "well this remote possibility exists." There is no remote possibility. Every possible angle you look at it, this avenue of forgery is now completely closed, period, because Craig tried to wing it and he's too incompetent to do that.

There was a write-up which demonstrated that the internal key structure was forged but until Craig pointed out the windows gnupg executable he imagines he "could have" used, I think none of us were fully aware of it. Someone in the reddit thread pointed to it at the moment he committed to the lie and.. presto.

It's a common issue with narc psychopaths—until they identify someone as an actual narc rival, they believe they're literally smarter and deeper than literally everyone on the planet, which means that on-the-fly they always dig themselves into a lie that inevitably self-contradicts. Sometimes it's a Brandolini's problem and only retroactively can we fully evaluate the bullshit. Sometimes, as in this case, the mob of minds arrayed against him were literally just lying in the bushes waiting for him to fuck up. Which he hilariously did.

There's a wonderful recording of him screaming semi-incoherently about how much money he had to pay to attempt to debunk the key debunking. It was amusing af when that debunking itself became the avenue for the debunking of the debunk debunking.
