Andrew - that is very interesting information. I was always under the assumption that this type of science was accurate.
Could you possibly point out the exact cases you refer to? Is that info on the internet?
I guess the National Academy of Sciences is correct. They recently published a study which surveyed the field of forensic science (all forensic science) and found it to be grossly deficient. (especially those that rely on expert interpretation). This included analyses of hair, bite marks, fibers, documents, tools, firearms, shoe impressions, tire tracks, blood spatters and handwriting.
