> OCR for construction documents does not work

I'm reminded of the Xerox JBIG2 bug back in ~2013, where certain scan settings could silently replace numbers inside documents, and bad construction-plans were one of the cases that led to it being discovered. [0]

It wasn't overt OCR per se, end-user users weren't intending to convert pixels to characters or vice-versa.
