Aadhaar authentication does not work

Here is data showing only 59% success rate in 13,300,000 transactions. This is not anecdotal. This is data.

Given the SC Case on probabilistic biometrics, here is the full biometric authentication Log from Andhra available publicly for anyone to run their own analytics. Link: https://gitlab.com/mostlyuid/andhra-device-log/tree/master/raw-data … The data is 1.68 GB big and has 1.33 Crore records.

And it shows 59% success on biometrics. This is totally junk technology at scale.
1. wc -l apiEntire.csv => 13388217 => 1,33,88,217 records => 1.33 Crore
2. Field # 10 is Biometric auth. status. So we can get passed records by cut -d’,’ -f10 | grep -i Success | wc -l command
3. Result of (2) above is 8009715 => 80,09,715 => 80 Lakhs success => Ratio is 59.82% success.
4. At scale, this is rubbish because it shows increased transaction times even if all attempts are eventually successful.
5. Impacted people count needs a BigData Program.
