Doesn't dismiss the ball boy taking the balls into the lockerroom after the ref checked the balls.

Referee Walt Anderson had 2 air pressure gauges in his possession one had a Wilson logo on it referred to as the logo gauge and one without a logo known as the non logo gauge. The logo gauge was consistently .3 to .45 psi higher than the non logo gauge. When Referee Walt Anderson was questioned about the pregame psi measurements he recalls that the patriots wanted 12.5 psi and the colts wanted 13.0 psi for ball pressures. He recalls having to add air to 2 of the patriots game balls to bring them up to 12.5 psi. When asked which of the pressure gauges were used to set and check the pregame ball pressure inspection he said he was reasonable sure he used the logo gauge but wells badgered him into stating that it was possible he could have used the non logo gauge. The point the nobel piece prize scientist was making is that without absolute knowledge of which
gauge was used to set/check the pregame pressure then wells assumptions that the ideal gas law didn't account for the loss in pressure is wrong. In fact the logo gauge readings fall into line with what the ideal gas law predicted.
