And then, it turns out -- my accuracy might be most suspect here -- Johnny Holmes was one of the few people (or the only one) they didn't actually track down in real life, so nothing was filled in over the sample entry. Nobody knew it wasn't the real thing.

And that's how it made the newspaper. Lots of lessons in there, obviously.

Makes perfect sense, certainly in retrospect, but I guess the idea was to give the person doing it an idea of what they were looking for.

The obviously solution, also in retrospect, was that once they had a couple of real ones, somebody thought to delete the bogus copy.
