Ever see someone doing DNA testing?
They squirt fluids into vials and stuff.
Then a pattern emerges.
Viola! DNA match! or not.
I am not going to pretend I understand the process, what it looks like more than in general or how it works. I do know that it's repeatable. I've seen enough of it explained that I can grasp the idea of what's going on even if I don't know the details.
Someone from the 18th century would call you a witch because what's going on is apparently no different from reading tea leaves.
What's that old line? Something about sufficiently advanced technology?
This sort of thing is what divides the Tech Levels in games.
