i have advanced hair analysis but it doesn't even matter. I have cases all the time where i find hair and it says it came from a person with curly hair. The fact is it doesn't even matter because the killer could have straight hair. So my question is can you really trust it? I don't. So what is the point of aquiring it and is it the same with the other skills? If so that should be fixed or what is the point of aquiring those skills?

Just to add... imagine you've found out someone has a fake alibi. You've got evidence of curly hair and male clothes. The suspect is a straight-haired woman. You can rule her out without having to ask any questions. If you'd found a hair but didn't know what sort it was, you couldn't rule her out without asking the barber.

As cases get harder and people clam more quickly, you need all the help you can get to stop you wasting questions.
