Their test was camera on tripod w. various supports.  Valid for macro work, 
to be sure.  For long-lens work (wildlife, sporting events, etc.) where 
keeping the moving subject in sight is a must, MLU is kind of impractical.  
But there, keeping a hand over the lens and the body pressed to the face 
seems to absorb a certain amount of vibration.  POP photo's test did not 
include this.
