No no no.  That wasn't the purpose of the forgery.  The purpose was to
aid 'us' in understanding the problem.

We aren't supposed to forge/alter our spam to feed to the parser.  We
are having a discussion here to go about understanding the problem.

That's the reason I call it 'forgery' and cancel it.  By making a change
and seeing the parser parse the item, I confirm what I think was wrong
with the structure, from the parser's point of view.
