This isn't exactly a paper on room temperature superconductors...
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.
