I'm sure that these arrangements of digits are here for artistic purposes only, and very nice they are too. Apparently if a particular encoding scheme is applied then they can be converted into the name of an individual. Then again, with an appropriate encoding scheme they could be converted into anything. If an inference is made that the (arguably) named individual is associated with some wrongdoing then it is whoever makes the inference, not the provider of the data, that should be held responsible for any allegations that ensue.

That aside, the author might be aware that a trial-by-media might ensue (I don't presume to know anything about his motives), but if so then he is clearly happy to eat his own dog food, which is laudable.

If you should find yourself in need of an expert witness you know where to come, Whale ;-)
