Everyone keeps pointing out that Hans's OTB FIDE Rating increase is unprecedented, and he rose too quickly. But didn't his recent win with Black against fellow GM Christopher Yoo, as well as other recent OTB results indicate how he is performing around his ~2700 rating?

fine, let's not base it off a single game where he won with Black against at 2563 GM Yoo.

What about this post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/xagis6/a_look_at_hans_niemanns_full_results_in_his_last/

A look at Hans Niemann's full results in his last 10 classical tournaments(including the Sinquefield Cup) and performance ratings. In total, he's played 71 games, scoring 48/71(67.6%) against an average opponent rating of 2610, for a performance rating of 2728 FIDE.

Is that enough evidence IF THERE was NO cheating OTB during those 10 tournaments, that Hans is deserving of having an ~2700 FIDE rating?
