Your question is like asking "how can I verify this rod is 1m long if I can't ask an expert". The answer is of course you measure it. That's much more reliable than asking an expert. However, the results of many papers take a huge amount of work to replicate, so we've built a network of experts over the years to evaluate them.

But this is open source, so TL;DR: you download the code, run it, and see if it gets the results claimed.

Have you tried that with the code repository that we're discussing here? It took this trained professional over an hour to get started, and then I gave up. It would take an additional 24 hours and quite some hardware simply to reproduce the results, and then probably a few weeks to actually understand what is going on. All in all, not very practical.
