The study challenges the prevailing belief that frequency-based features and compression-invariant learning are essential for robust deepfake detection. Using a controlled, pre‑registered protocol, a simple EfficientNet‑B0 trained on diverse multi‑quality data outperformed the more complex CAFRL model across all compression levels, with a 3.66 AUC point advantage at CRF 40. After identifying and correcting four experimental defects, the authors found that frequency features added no marginal benefit, while data diversity—particularly real constant‑rate‑factor variants—proved to be the key factor for robustness against H.264 re‑encoding.
