It could be hogwash, but it could also relate to how the firmware works. Without detailed design information (reverse engineering) of the firmware, I would not dismiss the possibility. Unlikely, but not impossible.
For doing comparison testing my normal practice is to assume the worst and eliminate these possibilities by using consistent button pushes. IMO, as unlikely as it may be, failure to control every variable that can be practically controlled is failure to practice careful experimentation. So, for example, when people who dismiss results of others as "hogwash" I tend to be suspicious of these people's own experimental results. My working assumption is that people who have a closed mind are not going to be good experimenters.
