But my point is, that if a couple of knotheads at a Saturday barbecue
can come up with a valid test, why can't the magazines? We even
retested about a year later, and had about the same results. How hard
would that be to duplicate in a controlled lab environment?

An excellent point. Which indicate...

1) If in fact two regular guys can come up with a test, why don't they hire
those two regular guys? Cuz they don't want to create any information or
results that regular guys can use.

2) It is obvious that these so called "testers" live in their own little
world. Not much to do with ours.

3) Never underestimate the power of beer and barbecue!
