For the vast majority of Apple Pay users, its sufficient, as evidenced
by the fact that their cards are added with the information provided by
Apple.

Right! It couldn't possibly be because the information provided doesn't
match bank records, or that some external flag has been raised by the
bank for a group of accounts, or any of the other thousands of potential
reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with the amount or quality of
information provided by Apple Pay. 

No! JF Mezie doesn't consider any of those to be valid and ignores them
so that he can focus only on his own dreamed-up explanations that make
Apple look like it is failing in some regard. It's what he does. He's a
very predictable troll. 

Troll on, trollboi.
