Here we go again: what is your knowledge of that particular test, the
conditions it was done in, the procedures, the points of comparison ?
You (seem to ? or is it a joke?) contradict it with a statement like
"proof is in the pudding", whatever that means in this context, but
which lets me understand YOU know what is real because you have probably
had your own private experience with it. 

Good tests, and that one was an interesting one, protect us from such
subjectivism: that test has proven something that goes against the
dominant accepted cliches. Thanks CdI for a little more truth and a
little less black magic. Proves how much those informations are useful
and how necessary a competent specialised press can be.
