This is probably false, for two or more reasons.

It's usually a waste of time trying to work with people like that who
have already made up their minds about something, and obviously isn't
going to budge no matter what.
My understanding of this situation is different. We've wronged the man
in the past and a sign of good will from us would go a long way.
Continuing to assume he's at fault and there's nothing we can do just
prolongs the stalemate.
I'd say we should start our own webpage and post results of our own
performance tests. In this day and age of social networks, all it takes
is a little promotion and the news will get around. As long as our
benchmarks are objective and we don't try to deliberately skew results
in D's favor, it should eventually get noticed (and linked to) by
reasonable people, and it will become known.
That would be exactly what's needed. Who's volunteering?
