Many instances of numerical manipulations end up being discovered because the cheater didn't understand math well enough to hide their tracks correctly.
I have always called the argument that someone couldn't have possibly done it because it would be stupid to have done so the "Connie Defense" after a woman who tried to assert same before I picked her up and put her out of the house like Fred Flinstones cat.
This was after she was caught driving without a license while speeding and smoking weed in a state where it was still illegal.

See this link for a recent example that's been on my mind: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnet_vote_manipulation_inves... Basically, they just grabbed a random-looking numerical constant and used its multiples as the difference between vote numbers.

I don't understand your logic.
"The easiest thing to do" is to do less thinking, less mathematical operations
