If you only read one paper in an unfamiliar field, you will not know if it lacks the necessary analysis.
I read plenty of compsci papers and whitepapers, I just don't have to work with this specific niche of web caching. I doubt the methodology for benchmarking is so radically different from other computer backgrounds that my ability to detect fudging in it, or other structural issues with them would be compromised.
And on top of that, in this case both the code and data sets are available and the papers went through peer review.
Same in every field.

You clearly have no expertise in this field. Over.
