Our PSTN can't switch smell along with voice and picture. Evidence of this would be that such a blemish upon the luxury domestic flax would be immediately identified. Not as an unexpected escape of night-soil but as careless droppage from taking toast in bed, spread thinly with Gentleman's Relish (the toast, not the bed). Similar in visual rendition, I agree, but easily differentiated by smell (unless the odour of your ordure is anchovy). There would be no confusion should I have been consuming crumpets where a post hot-butterous Marmite application is de rigueur. They could tell that that didn't have a bowellian source as they could see it was black and that is not on my faecal colour palate.
