The first thing one should do before performing a test is to formulate what you want 
to find out. Then figure out how to best design a test that gets you the answer. The 
weakness with many tests are that they don't do this.
The test in question starts with two mediums. Medium A has significantly higer 
resolution, more visible noise and lower accutance than B. The first step in this test 
is to take medium A through a process that reduces its resolution to the level of 
medium B while retaining the original medium negative aspects. Then both medium goes 
through another bottleneck which reduce resolution further and still keeping medium A 
weak sides, but don't do much with the accutance; medium Bs force. 
What this test tells us is that the process is better suited for medium B than A. 
Hower, for most of us this is nothing new; we did, after all, suspect that dgitial was 
better suited for digital processes and manipulation.
