Their time is as valuable as anyone else's and should be compensated. And to you guys, thanks for all your hard work and your commitment to the science.
<gets off soap box>That quote is from a well known, trusted tester. I believe the tests he did from which the quote refers was done by him for free (note the words, I believe).Alright guys, I think it goes without saying that testing just sucks. You get people trying to influence you from all angles
If people try to influence someones tests when all they've done is provide blocks, it doesn't take a scientist to wonder what could happen if they're paying someone.
Would you pay someone to test your product, yet sit there and still hand over the cash if that very test would actually produce negative PR?
