    Publicity stunt:

    Note the conference announcement. Also note the choice of language:
    "master forger". Since there are no accredited educational venues for
    forgers, nor independent professional ranking of same, such labels
    convey rather less solid information than implied, and have an
    unfortunate ring of artifices such as "master criminals" found in more
    lurid specimen of fiction.

    Actually, the disc is more likely to contain traveling instructions to
    Atlantis.
