Or is it that we cannot prove which of these unreleased parts made it out of
the factory by legitimate routes, and which are illegitimate?
That is what I would expect, but I get a bit confused reading the message by

What would be a legitimate route for test parts to make it out of the factory?

I understand that they have, for example, been included in charity donations
and have at least once been given away at a LUG event.
(Those legitimate routes do not explain the large quantities that seem to have
become available in recent years.)

This is the issue with 'rare' test parts. They get made by the people
making the jellybean Vaders and if 'legitimate' parts are allowed then
they can be sold here whereas the other colour ones cannot. So better just to
ban the lot.

That would be an alternative route, not the kind I intended.

Isn't that pretty much the definition of illegitimate in this scenario.

The small parts are probably easy enough to smuggle through the front door also...
