Generating a new key for documentation seems incredibly easy, or even generating random base64 text. Most of all, searching Google for a random key to use as example seems easiest of all.
I find it hard to believe that anyone would take their actual production key and redact it for documentation. Does the author have evidence of this in practice, or did they see example keys and assume they were redacted production keys?
