   The fundamental issue isn't technical. It's that people will see the "certified real" tag and just take the image for face value of whatever narrative someone wants to convey. They'll see the "Real Photo, Verified by Apple" and their brain will short circuit [0]

   I don't think we should have this, for that reason alone (but many others too).

      I’m pretty sure “certified real” aren’t the words Apple will use, nor do they use it in this document. The words to describe the technology were chosen with care: semantic verification, attestation, tamper evident, etc.

         You seem to be missing the point that’s being made here. Of course apple will word this very carefully. This does not matter in how people will interpret it. They will interpret it as certified real.
