I don't think that Frank was trying to reduce the value of Rob's test. He
just explained why this ISO compliance is not completely defining a standard
of quality.
Please let's try to stay gentle on this list, we're not on a vqf.com or
dmusic.com message board!
Another point about it is that in english, it seems that a lot of things
like "in my mind", "in my opinion",... must be used in order to not beeing
perceived as beeing rude, but it's less evident in other languages and not
necessary a reflex for non-english people writing in english.
