Not really. We'd see a lot of resignations if the numbers were being fudged. Statisticians, as a rule, take a dim view of falsifying data.

We didn’t need to see resignations because they were fired when the numbers weren’t good, in his opinion, previously.[1]

I get that the king does multiple things per day that used to be admin ending but we shouldn’t forget his machinations that are related to the topic at hand.

The data probably isn’t 100% false but it also definitely as trustworthy as it was a year and a half ago.
