How can you possibly verify this, if a 1M line patch was written over 7 days? It's at best a hunch (vibes?), and at worst a lie.

Because it passes the existing test suite? And he knows what's in the test suite?
The test suite explicitly verifies the architecture and the data structures used? Depends on the suite, I suppose.
