They could also test a Junior 6.1 if it was marketed that way, and it would be listed separately, and presumably also have a higher rating than the Junior currently being listed. >I don't see why asking to test them separately is so wild.

Asking to test them separately isn't wild, but it does make a farce of your promise. You said "ok, I'm not going to change anything, go ahead and test", and that #1 rank your program had for one list probably didn't hurt Tiger's sales much, right? Now, you're saying "re-test with a new entry". FAPP, this is trying to have your cake and eat it too. > Christophe Dave
