Interesting reading, but for such a "scientific" endeavor, I am immediately struck by two things the testers have either overlooked, or simply chosen not to mention.

First, no comparison to real-world results was made. Second, the sampling population is one - which renders any analysis statistically insignificant.

I am unswayed by their findings - and not just because I'm a bit of a Luddite.
