That's not a problem in this case, as the photo /was/ in facebook. The problem was identifying the prior one.
No, a *similar* (smaller) photo was on facebook. But the reference in commons wasn't to the photo, it was merely her own facebook page. That triggered something in the script/search that Yann used.
Which could be a javascript link to a bigger version.
I'm sure he didn't find the similar photo, as it was no longer visible. He'd have had to search back 63 wall photos (I just checked). It took me over 10 minutes to find, and I knew it was there somewhere.
I'm just evaluating that comparison utility you proposed. Please elaborate with meticulously detail how that would work, not just "some kind of".
Yet we know he didn't spend 10 minutes, because he posted several deletion pages per minute:
AGF he could have been led there from a google images search, or compiled before creating. You're probably right, but Yann actions being wrong don't relate on how that "tool of some kind" should work.
