Before the debate about the meaning of a pile of numbers can begin: 1. Where are the scientific equipment calibration certification documents for each and every sensor used to derive said numbers over the time span of the collection sampling?

Outstanding point. Step #1 in any serious laboratory exercise -- such as junior high school -- would bet o CHECK your instruments to be sure they are calibrated against tare weight (for a weight measurement) or otherwise. Until you calibrate your instruments -- every single time you start to do serious work -- you aren't doing science. We are taught this in Lab 101 in junior high school. But the experts have forgotten this and don't practice it.

They haven’t forgotten. Some have intentionally ignored it.
