Its overall score of 3.8 versus a much higher average for other leica M lenses makes me think they either got a bad example, or have mis-labeled a test of the old Summilux as an ASPH. The 35 asph is generally regarded by magazines and users alike as the finest 35mm lens ever made, and in my short exposure to it I would definitely agree. I have also used the Noctilux ocassionally, and was quite pleased with it's performance, but it in no way surpasses, or even equals the results of the ASPH Summilux. In general I like the Photodo site. I purchased a 28mm Contax Distagon based on their testing, and have found it to be of exceptional quality. (especially for 350.00!)
