[PR] Make most gloves leave scrambled prints while having some leave only material...

Finding insul prints doesn't mean "oh anybody could have done it" it means *somebody who was wearing insulateds* did it. That means you can be extra suspicious of people wearing those gloves, especially if they're not a job that starts with them, and can single them out to scan with your forensic scanner. Partial prints is basically "solve a boring matching puzzle and then you Get The ID of The Person". I think the former is much more detective-y in game-feel and much less answer-give-y.

Flab, this change doesn't remove that aspect of this at all. Let me take your example and bounce it back at ya:

Say the change is implemented and you're at a scene of a crime, and find partial prints along with insulated material prints.

You don't go through every forensic file, that would be silly. No, you would check the manifest, see who is likely to have insulation gloves and then cross reference that with the partial prints.

The current way requires you to physically scan that persons gloves. The issue there is that if a person has done crime, they're unlikely to allow you to get that close in the first place, it is a fool's game tbh.

Also, I don't get the IRL argument. It's dumb, we don't balance things based off of IRL. We reference it.
