It's a complicated subject, proof and evidence, especially for audio, which is largely subjective. You might prove it in one system but not another, or for one person but not another. Besides evidence and proof should ideally come from independent sources, that's why there is the term, independent verification and validation, IV&V.
Can you imagine the absurdity of having to prove the claims of a tweak manufacturer in court, "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury if this cable doesn't sound like the most transparent and undistorted cable you've ever heard you must find the defendant guilty."
If a manufacturer claims his product achieves 90 dB SNR do you verify it? Of course not, you assume it's correct, right?
Personally, I do my own investigation of claims, the ones I'm interested in, don't you? I don't take a manufacturer's word for it or even a reviewer's or audiophile's. Do you?
What claims specifically are you suspicious about that you would ask this question?
