Are you a scientist?  Do you understand scientific testing and testing
principles?  Do you know that so many years ago that their measurements were
accurate, and do you have all the test data to examine the test for
anomalies, or possible causes of inaccurate results?  I am not saying your
information is or isn't right.  I am saying that without proper
substantiation, an (how old?) old test can hardly be touted as accurate,
much less scientific.

How can you do CO2 tests in the exact same conditions, years later...the
winds, the temperature everything atmospheric will have some bearing on the
tests.  Problem is, people can do/interpret tests to mean what THEY want
them to mean.  It's a game.

I find this kind of stuff entirely funny.  We KNOW that camera testing is
done with an EXTREME bias, in most cases, but amazing how some people want
to believe, without questions, tests that support THEIR point of view.
