well, with this test people can check themselves how well their brand new ferrari pc or good old ford pc will ride your road, whilst now all you have to tell them, is that some guy in some car was known to ride at 3k poly per frame, which is pretty much nothing. any test with sufficient number of options that everybody can play with will do better than that.
