It’s still missing the point. Of course you can just lie. Just like you can just lie on your tax returns or steal somebody’s wallet. “Getting caught” is the point, not “being able to do something”. The issue with the tech and the laws being in place is that suddenly lying there might become an offense. Imagine you’re in court for some other bullshit and they’re not just arguing that you falsified records (the age you lied about) to add some additional punishment but also might use this to attack your trustworthiness in general. Imagine them arguing that you can’t be trusted with computers because you lied there, so some old fart sentences you to five years without computers or smartphones and suddenly you lost the means to earn your money.
