To be fair, the only ones who can challenge them are the retailers and publishers. And they aren't forthcoming probably for several reasons.
I would be more comfortable with his report if he didn't choose a day at the beginning of the month when the Kindle First titles are newly available. They briefly dominate the top 10.
Also, it would be interesting if he somehow could provide the raw data he actually receives. He says 20,000 titles. How many are in the top 10, 100, 1000, etc?
