I am saying it ... Lens of Truth is full of it

Well I think they do take negligible differences and turn them into significant points of difference. A 12 sec loading time vs a 15 sec loading time is something they need to identify as fact, but that difference is insignificant in the grand scheme of things, so it should be a tie breaker rather than a point in one or other system's favour from the outset. A 10 sec difference in loading time on the other hand is something to score the lower system down on from the outset.

Same with frame rate and screen tears. An average 55 fps vs an average 50 fps is indiscernable to the player's eye. 10% screen tears vs 15% is a negligible, basically statistically insignificant, difference. But 55fps vs. 28fps and 10% tears vs 30% tears is significant because they are discernable differences for the player.

That's the problem with turning quantitative data into a qualitative outcome. Full disclosure of facts is important for a site like LoT's credibility, but what is also importaant for credibility is to put the facts into its proper context and state whether certain facts are meaningful in a real world setting.

At this point in LoT's life I would look at whether it would serve to apply a perception margin to each parameter and count differences that fall within the perception margin as a practical tie. If the end result is a tie the practical ties can be assessed to determine the technical winner.

From my reading of the MW2 LoT it would seem the 360 achieved (according to them) at least one technical win that rose the the level of player perception difference. So 360 got the outright win. But some parameters should have been presented as practical ties between the systems rather than outright wins for the 360. The one thing that stood out in my mind was the mentioning of the bloom effect on the 360, this seems to be something that they thought gave the 360 version a perceptable aesthetic edge. But for the rest of the LoT analysis it seemed like they were both talking up negligible differences to make sure they had a clear winner in each parameter, and then talking down those same differences at the end to emphasise that the end result is a lot closer then the all green table at the end would indicate.
