I am not saying those scores are not impossible. I am saying more reasoning, evidence, proof is needed to claim that they are the result of hacks, rather than of farsight or table bugs. And for some scores, it has been given, which is great! I'm sorry for any misunderstanding.
Occam's razor. It's a guess, but for many games, hacking leaderboards is not that difficult to do (if you are experienced in software at a decently low level). Bugs tend to affect scores negatively rather than positively in my experience.
I have no insight on Farsight's code, but sometimes really strong protection against leaderboard hacking isn't as much of a design priority as say copy protection (for obvious reasons, one affects bottom line, one doesn't) or actually fixing bugs and releasing new DLC. Indie studios only have limited resources to spend on these sorts of things.
