There has to be some way to verify the claim. Trust me bro isn't science.

"Trust that I ran these tests with these results" is extremely common in science.

It's not an objective test like you are talking about. These benchmarks are far from accurate and also can be tainted in the training data.

You'll find the same thing in many academic/scientific papers

The trust is established by others reproducing the results with the same methodology, it's not just supposed to be taking people's word at face value
