That was my understanding - the grain of the wood constituted an unforgable
construct - anything digital could be forged, but there's no way to create
that EXACT ball in any other way. That's also why (obviously) it was
clearly polished wood and not ceramic or plastic.
It's been a while since I read the story however.

My understanding was that the wooden ball was harder to forge than a
printout, and also very difficult to alter.
In other news, my boss got a game for his Mac which uses the player's
image via an iSight (or other firewire cam) as input. Me and both
bosses immediately thought of the MR computer's input scheme when we
first saw it.
