Having read up on #cricketgate and why it's so bad that the dude rubbed some tape on his balls, I have a scientific question:
Is there any evidence that this 'tampering' does anything?

yes, really well. It will also suff up through normal play, & it is legal to shine one side. the reason to introduce take or sandpaper or whatever, is to scuff up more, to make it swing earlier, ie, with less use

But, like, how do we know? It seems to me that the accepted orthodoxy doesn't have a huge amount of evidence
