Too bad George Welch beat him earlier that day.

Yup.....the X1 kinda seems like a waste of money in that context.

Was there any telemetry recording Welch's earlier flight?  Any instrument recording the fact to prove it?  Is it verifiable?

I'm waiting for the video of Adonai breaking the sound barrier in his F/A-18 that he flies for the Marines.  You got a video of that Adonai?

Maybe, maybe not.  Doesn't mean he didn't do it though.  Also doesn't prove that he did.  But, where there's smoke, there's fire.
