it wasn't faked, but it was very much a ship.of Theseus pregnancy test. They replaced the microcontroller with one they could program (it might have been the reprogrammable version of the same microcontroller. And the screen was replaced.
So it was faked. The ship of Theseus was still a ship with the same capabilities at the end. They didn't add an engine to it.
