You can take it to mean anything you want -- it appears that whatever I 
say, you're going to restate it anyway.

For better or worse, any proposal you might make on benchmarks has to 
equate to cobblestones, and cobblestones, for better or worse, are 
defined by whetstones and dhrystones.

If you don't, you're changing credits.  That's one tar-baby that I don't 
think anyone wants to touch.

Either way, the project scientist doesn't care.  For the project, the 
science is the result, not metrics from BOINC.
