Are P-1 failures quickly verifiable?

Hi. I see that a lot of people have quickly increased their P-1 computations (myself included), but I wonder how/if these results are possible to spoof, or if there is independent verification of the computations people have done?

(With "failures" I mean negative results: i.e., no factor found.)

P-1 results where a factor is not found are not verifiable at this time.
