What are natural variations? How can they be useful for detecting forgeries?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer should include points such as the following:
Natural variations are normal deviations found between repeated specimens of an individual's handwriting.
They are useful in detecting forgeries because no two specimens of writing prepared by one person are ever identical in every detail. Thus, a document forged by tracing an authentic sample of writing or a signature can often be detected even if the original and the tracing coincide exactly, because no one ever writes the same words or signs two signatures exactly alike.
