Question about AKC's pedigree research program.

For a dog with papers from another domestic registry
If you cannot obtain AKC papers, AKC has a new program where we are researching pedigrees of dogs that do not have AKC paperwork to determine if the dog comes from AKC registrable stock.
In order to determine AKC registration eligibility, you will need to send AKC a copy of your dog’s pedigree, registration application and/or registration certificate from another registry. You can also submit documentation provided by the breeder such as a contract or bill of sale. The dog may qualify for registration if the pedigree shows no break in AKC lineage and the dogs in the pedigree originate from AKC registrable stock.

How does it work exactly? I mean, it sounds like it can be manipulated easily right? If all they do is research names on the pedigree from any registry. Couldn't someone find a pedi online, slap those names along with others and submit? Is AKC desperate for money?
