Yeah, understand your point...but I'm not sure that's really what was being
conveyed in the earlier gripe.

I've heard from alot of folks backchannel on this and my reading of the
"tea leaves" is it's not really unhappiness with the testing that's at
issue, but rather the depth and comprehensiveness of the evaluations beyond
what to many regard as rather academic findings and marketing bla-bla-bla.

Let's see where it goes from here.
