Why would they have to be "lazy."?

Are we to assume that they have the RIGHT in their contract with Wilhelm 
to publish the reports AFTER Wilhelm has CLEARLY pulled the reports from 
the public domain?

Sure, they can reference Wilhelm numbers, but if no-one can 
 independently say, "yes those numbers exist,"  on what basis is one to 
accept them?  Oh.. wait.. perhaps the answer is Wilhelm's unsullied 
reputation for objective and publicly published results?
