Fully agree. To answer, in part, one of Howard's points, I don't believe
that the ability to test AV -- or other software -- is a magical quality
given only to the chosen few. I do believe that if you offer an opinion that
other people will be guided by on the comparative merits of a product or
service and based on your own testing, you have a responsibility to ensure
that that testing is as impartial and accurate as possible, and the key to
that is (1) knowing your targets (2) knowing your limitations.
