He seems to be among the bottom 10 percent of guys whose victory tallies stand up to comparison with enemy losses. How many theories can we come up with to excuse that?

I agree that it looks suspicious, but it also potentially makes a lot of other eksperten and aces look like liars, even though perhaps they were just not very accurate in their claiming.

Btw, fellow forum member Urusut covers this period from the VVS side here https://proza.ru/2019/08/23/427 for claims for Me 109's vs Jg 52 losses.
