The information at the end of the link is perhaps a bit of horse shit. 
The list of questions was not stated, and the people to whom they were 
given were not named. No matter how many times I reread the "about us" 
link, I still don't know who these people are.

The lack of information about their methodology makes their conclutions 
suspect. I wouldn't be surprised if they have an ax to grind.
