That report was embarrassing. They used two different gauges that gave significantly different results. They don't know which was used pre-game so they are really only guessing at the starting point. They had two different people take measurements at half-time and hypothesized that they somehow switched gauges between measuring the Patriots' balls and the Colts' balls because the results seemed to switch (which was higher). In short, the entire process was not done in a scientific manner and even then the consultant admitted that there was a possibility the Patriots explanation was correct - thus the weasely "more likely than not" language used by the attorneys. It means, we're lawyers so we know we couldn't possibly prove this case in court so we'll take our best guess.
