I don't understand the whole point of testing. If its a viable product, it will sell well regardless of who tested the block. If the testing shows that the block is substandard, then the reviewers would only be bad mouthing the block and it just generates misconception and negative advertisement.

If I were a manufacturer, there is no way in hell I would allow my product to be sent to a bunch of enthusiasts in a forum. For a manufacturer, there is zero upside. Only downside risk.

Tt never has to worry about what a couple of geeks in some forum think about its products.

I guess that's why there are hardly any MBA-types in the IT industry... all fired as soon as they open their mouths rofl
