But in this case, Linus boasted about "getting the facts straight and ppl acknowledging them", and yet GN pointed out how wrong he was with his own findings which turned out to be true, thus fact. So really it's Linus bullshit and borked data vs GN's actual data and sources, along with a dev who got fucked over, because Linus was too lazy to shell out another 400. Linus needs to just take the L and course correct before shit gets worse (believe me, it will with this kind of information, and a dev who's been fucked over, it will spread over time). |
Except for the cooler thing, the rest are non-points. Reviews of PC components are all over the place over the internet because measurement can be done in so many different ways with so many different conditions, some of which are beyond the reviewer's understanding or control.
Of course, if methods change, or something is measured again, they should be open about it, but I don't think GN understands enough of the null hypothesis to realize this proves nothing (well, it does, just not the damning case he thought he had).
