I believe he cooked his data, but it was the 1850s, and science was still along these lines:
Watson, do you think a monkey falling out of a tree falls slower or faster than one blown out of a tree with 00 buckshot?
I do say, Alfred, what an intriguing idea. I'll grab the shotgun and you find a rock. We will meet back here in 15 minutes and find two monkeys.
15 minutes later
Alright, on the count of three, you throw the rock at your money and I'll pull my trigger
But it's going to take time for the rock to get there - your shotgun is instant
Fine you throw on two, and I pull on three. Ready? One, two...

He did a little massaging of the data.
