Comparing projects done in the open with multiple different universities, on public funds, with something done behind closed doors with only personnel from a commercial entity is pretty far-fetched.

How does being supported by public funds with academic personnel from multiple universities make LIGO any more verifiable for me at home? At least I can run these games against my stockfish, thus verifying the result. The method I cannot verify, but being able to verify the results is already more than most of science.
