But the proof is in the pudding, the speed tests speak for themselves, no?
That's exactly it -- multiple, independent yet individually unreliable measures can actually produce very reliable aggregate evidence through convergence. This is particularly true if one uses abductive reasoning, but IIRC, there's statistical proof behind this idea as well...
That is to say that the speed tests say something and the chat says something, but together, they begin to paint an troublesome picture. Combine that with the timing and it starts to look bad. More data points will add to that convergent picture, of course...
