I'd say the case isn't closed quite yet. Just in the SAE corrections that has been done here, there is potentially a substantial error in the claimed "facts"!

As you said; Garbage in, Garbage out...

It seems to me that the thought here is that any inaccuracies in regards to potential double corrections is regarded as noise when correlating to other data sources as real life trap speed, vbox dyno data and MAHA dyno results. Doesn't seem perfectly scientific in isolation but combining sources for correlation has merits in finding noise and close in on real numbers as well.
