Do you think you could fool a human intelligence with some paper printouts taped to your face?

You can fool a human with makeup and prosthetics coupled with other fake ids.

This exploit isn’t practical as it requires 3D scanning the victim’s face. Similarly the touchID exploit isn’t practical so no one cares.

This method is much more secure than passwords that also get exploited by cameras or just brute forcing the 20% of pass codes that are “00000.”

Bouncers are fooled by fake IDs all the time

Bouncers are fooled by people wearing paper masks of the people depicted on a photo ID?

When bouncers let people enter a bar with a photo ID that does not match the person in question they are not failing to identify a human. They are failing to give enough of a shit to carefully examine the picture in question.
