Don't trust client-submitted records
Quote
So I don't trust the DOB record at all. Got it. Somebody could create a command line and just pump out to vase with all kinds of fake information that is completely possible. There's no way to stop.

Summary
Self-reported metadata (like boost TLV records) can be faked by anyone with a command line, so it can't be trusted for rankings without something verifiable to key on.
Not in the audio. "DOB record" and "to vase" are transcription garbles of "TLV record" / "TLVs".
