Was it an anal probe? Because thatโ€™s the only one kind I would trust in this situation

Statistics only really work, if you have a reasonable amount of data at hand. Obviously it was easy for the Chess.com games to find the problematic games. But Niemann only played in 13 over-the-board tournaments.

Carlsen and another (anonymous) GM said some games were suspicious. For me, this is still more accurate than the statistics they used.
