I've read through the sources and links, and there is sanity checking and 3rd party input. The numbers from Google were also published in a white paper, so there's a reasonable level of transparency and verifiability. While they shouldn't be taken entirely at their word, there's currently little reason to think their figures aren't at least in the ballpark of the actual data.
