This you know is an impossible challenge, since nothing other-sourced has published about it. The teams would just invent whatever they want out of the data they possess, just as they are programming the electric motor that opens the throttle, to whatever values they can claim are equivalent to 10% or 19% (or whatever), as they did yesterday. The current situation is a wild west scenario. There is just no way for the FIA to properly inspect and verify claims. So it that is a fools errand which proves or disproves nothing. But to clarify, Mercedes claim that their engines cannot sustain the vacuum, that having all valves closed while braking creates.

Luckily for us, the legality of F1 does not rest on you being convinced.
Edit: clarification
It's only after we've lost everything, that we are free to do anything.
