    “Sure if you look at Details A and B, every fingerprint is unique, but if you look at Details C and D, you can see they aren’t unique!”
    “Yeah that’s why we don’t look at Details C and D… they don’t produce unique results.”

    I'm not sure how it 'upends the legal system' to discover that a person's fingerprints are similar in some ways to each other.

    "Judge, my client is innocent! That fingerprint on the murder weapon could come from ANY of his fingers!"
