Not to nitpick, but I think you went a bit NON-Occam on a couple points.
1. Having so many air pressure checks is not a necessary explanation and adds potential issues.
A. From my tv viewing, they tend to keep reusing the same ball most of the time in games (they just toss back to ref), so maybe some of air loss was just rbs and big-ugly DL landing on top of it for 20 min of game time.
B. Using 0.1 as a pressure loss for testing is a nice round guess, but sounds like exactly that --an unscientific WAG!
C. Having to depend on a chain of three guys doing the same thing seems like an opportunity to allow them to create doubt. If the can prove one of the three had no opportunity to check air unobserved, it makes your whole argument look bad. Air comes out by testing, just leave it at that.
2. Dolts footballs:
A. Where did you come up with the dolts balls at 13.5? That is the first time I ever heard a number associated with dolts starting air pressure.
B. Assuming them that high isn't neccessary either. I prefer these paler explanation that the balls were in the team bus overnight and therefore checked/pumped up at ambient outdoor temp and not pure indoor temp like the pats .
