   Forgive me, Judy... obviously you are aware of comparisons which
   were not supplied by vendors, which scientifically control every
   conceivable variable, and which are completely unassailable.  

   Since I am clearly citing comparisons which are less valuable, 
   please contribute the results of these more valuable comparisons 
   to the discussion so that all of us can increase our understanding.
