Sorry, come again? If I say “I’m afraid this pasta tastes so awful I just can’t eat it”, would you respond “well at least [the cook] did prepare something! maybe you should stop mouthing off and do it better”? The fact that a benchmark does not measure something interesting stands on its own. There is *no* need for anyone to provide a better benchmark before they can state that a bad one is bad. The onus is on the benchmark writer to show that his measurements are meaningful and useful. It’s called science.
