You’re making an untrue assumption based on a misunderstanding of what I’ve said. I did not say it doesn’t survive. I said you cannot distinguish it from random noise without knowing it’s there and how to see it, because there is already a massive amount of noise/“fuzzing” in the processing pipeline. In addition partial ids are often enough. Very little of anything processed and interpreted by humans is specifically binary, and short of implementing an insane level of hashing in the bare hardware and verifying all those hashes up the chain, it’ll always be that way.
What good would such a fingerprint be if it didn’t survive normal recording conditions?
