The first key difference is that you tried to pass it off as current information (Strange that a site dedicated to finding the smallest resolution differences now say that resolution doesn't matter.) While DF gave the proper age, and natureof the information they were using in both of those cases.

You still haven't actually formulated a real argument to support your point of view (which I assume is just DF=bad?). All you've done is jump from vague point to vague point without really definding any of them.

First, it was that they were making too many assumptions when talking about leaked specs. When it was pointed out to you that no, they really aren't, you jumped to wanting them to be held legally liable for someone else breaking an NDA for some reason. Then, when you were told that lible laws don't work like that, you posted some random article about the factors that effect image quality. Now, you're back to talking about "misinformation" even though it's been pointed out to you by like half a dozen people that this isn't misinformation.

 

Are you just trolling? Do you have some sort of bone to pick with DF? Did you just not have a clear image of what you wanted to get across when you made the OP? What's going on here?

 

The point has been stated about 100 times now. Surprisingly you have not noticed it.

Fact: Digital Foundry uses outdated info to substantiate their claims.

Fact: Digital Foundry uses assumptions to substantiate their claims.

Fact: Digital Foundry knowingly receives info that is protected by a legally binding NDA agreement. The information was not meant to be revealed to the public and is not yet finalized by the companies involved for public release.

These are the things we are discussing here. But since you have made Digital Foundry an untouchable deity who can never do wrong, maybe you should just agree to disagree and leave it at that.

If DF discloses the nature of their information without revealing the source then "most current information available" is legitimate for the purpose of drawing conclusions on what the information means, if true.

If DF uses assumptions that can be reasonable deduced from information they've received, then there is nothing inherently wrong with assumptions.

If DF is not subject to any NDA or confidentiality then it's a non-issue for them. The only time publishing "secret" information can get you into trouble is 1) if you have signed on to a confidentiality agreement or NDA, or 2) you are revealing govt secrets and you are within the jurisdiction of the official secrets legislation of that govt. Neither situation applies to DF with these leaks. If MS/Nintendo find the employee or contractor who leaked to DF then they have someone they can go after for breach of contract.
