Depends. The intuition came partly from watching some pretty "I really
want one of those" pieces of technology, but also from having documents
from fly-by-night-operations (Harvard, Union Bank of Switzerland etc)
questioned and shown up. The tricky documents are those from less
developed countries. They are too simple to be proved fake, and are not
infrequently genuine docs provided from bribed officials.
