My thermodynamics professor had worked on the Apollo program at NASA; a couple days after that scandal broke, he spent an entire lesson debunking the NFL's case.

The whole thing was surreal.

Maybe so, maybe so. But as Mike Tomlin said a few years ago when detailing some of the disadvantages that visiting teams have had to deal with, "... It's always the Patriots." For example, his team had never had any trouble with radio headset communications anywhere in the NFL except at Gillette Stadium (and his wasn't the only visiting team that had those same issues).

I remember that. The truth is that the NFL provides the equipment to both teams, and the game Tomlin went postal the Patriots also had problems all game long. According to one version at least lol.

The gas laws are or at least were HS physics. Reinforced in college.
I hadn't bothered with the math in decades, but did some when they gave numbers.

When they showed the guages used by the officials, to me that was the clincher.
The ones used were cheap stuff you can get anywhere for a few bucks. Even most decent guages are only accurate 5% lower end of the range 3% mid range and 5% upper end. The cheap ones are more like 10-5-10. And they were using them at the lower end of the range. A difference within the accuracy range of the guage is essentially no difference.
(So if the guage goes to 100psi, a 15 psi reading will actually be between 5 and 25. or between 10 and 20 using a slightly better guage.

The bent pin may have also changed the reading but I'm not certain of that.

Now if they'd used a calibrated guage that was something like 1% .5% 1% that would be a different thing altogether.
