If a person off on holiday just had their face burned off by one of those tabletop fire pits and is on their way home due to just getting their face burned off, something tells me the last thing on their mind is swinging by the embassy to get their biometrics updated.

The real world is messy.

I suggest you actually read my post, because its clear you did not.

If you had read it, you would have seen the phrase "Of course, if you have a temporary mismatch due to being injured on holiday that's different.".

I quite clearly excluded holiday injury.

Why would disfigurement be temporary? You are still injecting spin to dismiss legit concerns that are not optional for any production system. The system should always have a human override available with a manual check.
