Yes, but I didn't truly believe its figures and conclusions to be unanimous.
Benchmarks can easily be slanted, especially when an hypothesis exists. Was

which was attained by using bad experimentation to begin with. It was funded
to reach at a certain conslusion artificially, generating organic figures.

Right. I'd rephrase if I could. *smile*
