I seem to remember seeing that post also and having done a lot of
testing in other jobs it is easy to make tests the are not
representative, misleading, or distort reality, etc. However this is not
an excuse for not developing tests, it should be just a caution that you
need to be aware of what you are measuring.
Having some standard tests that compare different searches using some
standard, that ever that might be, complexity pages, may not reflect
real-life queries, but it would give us some standards to compare
against from version to version and if we find cases that are not well
represented then we can add more cases.
