Jibe accepted, Bruce, but I still think there is one crucial difference:
Michael admits his parameters, Rob Galbraith doesn't.

That is, if Rob had said, "Many of these tests are of actions that are
limited by the speed of the hard drive. We are comparing the Apple with the
stock hard drives; Apple also makes faster hard drives available as an
option," then who could object?

But I see no mention of this. That's why I think it ends up being
misleading.

If you'll notice, several people here are objecting to Michael's
conclusions. But this is because he has given sufficient honest explanation
of his testing procedures and parameters to _allow_ people to draw different
conclusions, or to critique his assumptions, or suggest possible
shortcomings in his methods. That is the mark of a good test.
