Actually, there is a second silver lining to this, and that is to underscore the value of storing data in a format which is recognised by professional scientists. Your data then becomes an unique, forensically useful document.
Metadata is trivially easy to edit. I can't see that the raw files would prove anything unless they've been time stamped and digitally signed by a trusted authority.

We've all seen Paul's work over a number of years. IMO he hasn't any need to prove himself.

Cheers,
