I tried to go through the "Room-temperature superconductivity — or not?" paper related to the "[We] proved basically mathematically that the raw data are not measured in the laboratory; they are fabricated" comment. I'll admit, the paper is well over my head. Long time no college science classes.

I'm curious about the methods used to determine that the data was fabricated though. Would someone mathier than me help answer this: Was the fabrication of data determined through a mathmatical analysis of the actual data numbers ala Benford's Law? Or was this determined more through a scientific analysis of the experiment that determined that the numbers weren't possible?
