The article doesn’t actually contain any data saying that fingerprints are reliable. If I had to guess, I’d say that a (non-partial) fingerprint match had an odds ratio of around 10^7, a hefty 22 bits of info. Is there any data to contradict that? Or is this just the “but there’s still a chance, right?” fallacy?
