Then it's a good thing I don't try to sound "right" or "smart" then just because this hypergraphic individual tends to phrase things according to a different selection of words than the brute before me. None of what you describe is the same as there being a stable "odor signature", or if it were possible, you would think dogs or perhaps forensic scientists could pull it off without any form of mistaken identity, unless there's a number of citations pointing in the opposite viewpoint that this so-called "wannabe science" lacks.
