About the voices. The narrator is NeuralStan, an AI voice the archive uses for its made films. Where you hear Stan Meyer, it is Stan: every word of his is cut from an original recording, and nothing he says was synthesised.

NeuralStan (AI narrator) · Debunkers love this one: Stan Meyer was convicted of fraud. He wasn't. There is no criminal case anywhere on record.
NeuralStan (AI narrator) · It was a civil suit. Two men who had bought dealerships sued in nineteen ninety-three to get their money back. In ninety-six a Fayette County judge found gross and egregious fraud and ordered a refund. The bank paid it. Case closed.
NeuralStan (AI narrator) · And the test that sank him? By Stan's own account, the other side's expert poured a white powder into his cell. Stan said it was salt.
Stan Meyer (original recording) · So inherently, the electrolysis process did not comply with the law of economics because it was a self-destructive unit and we had to add chemicals to it.
NeuralStan (AI narrator) · Here is why that matters. Salt turns water into an electrolyte. Then current flows, and any cell makes gas the old way. Test that, and you're testing electrolysis, not his claim.
NeuralStan (AI narrator) · Civil, not criminal. It cost him money, not his freedom. If you're going to call him a fraud, at least get that part right.
