Pretty directly testable, although I suspect nobody will test.

I agree. At least just publish the solution of RSA260 in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_Factoring_Challenge

As always, extraordinary claim require extraordinary proof.

No need for any extraordinary proof.

Start by factoring the RSA Factoring Challenge.

Obviously there are ways to cheat on this challenge, such a cyber attack on where RSA Inc. stores the results, but it would be a great start.
