The fact that people with no taste are paying attention to what the
cook produces is reason enough to merit a response. The benchmark
should be fixed or thoroughly and publicly discredited. Ignoring the
cook and the dish he served up is fine for the discriminating
individual, but it won't keep the masses from forming ill-informed
opinions.
For better or worse buzz words like "mind share" and "community"
matter. Perception often wins out over substance.

Good points. In the absence of other data, people will believe the
only thing they have. My vote is that we work together to come up
with some more "real world" tests.
