To add to that, it assumes other teams either weren't aware of this advantage or didn't attempt it because they had more integrity. Even then, if it was some clear advantage, but they didn't want to cheat, wouldn't they deflate balls to the legal minimum to at least get some of that amazing advantage?
Not neccesarily. Maybe Tom Brady is an exception in that he likes or tolerates a deflated ball where as most quarterbacks are a limiting factor to the fumbling advantage.

The most fumble prone player on the field is the QB. Tom Brady has one of the fastest drop backs in the NFL, therefore the window for him to get hit and fumble is small. The rebuttals aren't from Pats fans. Check out Advanced NFL Analytics.
If you're still not convinced, then you don't believe in facts anyways.
