Emphasis mine.

Skuld thought of the Lenses... while she was programming reality.

Is that why she's so confident the Lenses can't be spoofed or copied? Because she integrated their workings at a level of reality that, if anyone else accesses it, Our Heroes have far greater problems than just fake Lenses? Why the Test Of Light is administered by the Lens itself, rather than being under Skuld's control, so that even if anyone does copy her access to that 'file' of Yggdrasil, it would still only produce 'real Lensmen'?
