Ah, yes. This was an obvious test I should have thought of.

One of my pet hates: when an IP changes a figure in in infobox or
somewhere in article, with no comment, and no source. I've heard
reports of people doing this as sport, just to be annoying, but in my
experience, they're often right. But it leaves you in a real quandary,
if you can't verify it either way.
