More often, apparently. Clearly: those who choose to perform "actual controlled tests" have, I assume, good reasons for doing so. Just as: those who don't care about "actual controlled tests" beyond going out and shooting pictures, with "untested" gear, also have, I assume, their reasons for taking that approach. Personally: I do both as fits my sense of "need to know." I had the "need to know" by controlled tests how two different IR filters rendered scenes; given identical lens, camera, lighting, et al. I learned what needed to learn. Whether my tests were informative or useful to anyone else is up to them.
