That's true but what is your point.?  Organisations list statements as an 
acceptable proof of address item and sent statements are well just that, 
printed statements produced from exactly the same data.  Nationwide and 
Powergen downloaded statements are, paper quality excepted, visually 
indistinguishable from original statements.   I find that slight distressing 
adds to the realism.
