It's clearly anecdotal, I clearly spell out it's a limited data set and that I'm speculating. If anything, all the warnings serve to emphasize the fact that you shouldn't trust this, rather than just leaving people to draw their own conclusions on the basis of the numbers I gave. I hope there's an answer with better data (or better anecdotes), but this is nonetheless more than nothing. | |
