    Then you need to come up with a better solution for how borrowers can extend credit and assess risk.

    With a compass, watch, and sextant - like they used to do before. Oops, sorry, wrong story.

    I mean by doing it themselves, like they used to before.

    Not recycling them doesn't prove that there are no dupes. Errors can happen, and they have.

    Here's a fact - you suck at fact checking.

    SSN's were intended to be unique to a person, but they aren't. A duplicate can occurs due to error. Adding DOB will certainly reduce the likelihood but it can't eliminate it.

    Oh, it doesn't work the other way round either - some people have been assigned more than one.

    Google is one huge rambling halo effect. Their search engine was good and by chance arrived just as all the others were turning shit of their own volition. I actually remember when Altavista was my go-to for search.

    Pretty much everything they've produced since has been shite or unusable. If the wind blows fair and they manage to produce something that's almost mediocre they dump it after a year.

    When something is too hard to do properly there are two alternatives: don't do it, or do it half arsed.

    The first one doesn't demonstrate a "can do" attitude, so guess which one is usually chosen.
