It really depends on how ExifTool (which again, I started from a point of ignorance so idk) decides to do the work in the first place. Does it have a bunch of magic functions that decide random things about bits? Does it have some sort of internal metadata file format identification lookup? No idea! But in some of those cases rewriting it is a lot less insane than others.
