Agreed. People need to appreciate the difference between "noisy" and "completely worthless". Maybe it's easier for me than for most people because I work with statistics and noisy data on a daily basis. The Language Benchmark Game is noisy. This means that you can't tell at a fine-grained resolution which language is fastest, and small differences are almost meaningless. It is not completely worthless, though. If it shows a difference of several fold, you can be pretty sure that's real. I see no problem with it as long as everyone understands that it's noisy and that small differences are to be taken with a grain of salt.
