The proper way to test if your CMTest settings is a better settings or not is to
privately test it yourself, and once you are at least 60% sure that you have
inmprove the settings instead of making it weaker, than you set up a match
between your improve version vs my latest CMQueen++. This was how I assure
myself that my latest CMQueen++ was better than the previous one. You can not
claim to have made a faster commercial car than a Ferrari, until you have first
test driven it a few times. Also do not be ashamed to release your improved
settings of my CMQueen++, even if it is 99% identical to my previous CMQueen++
settings. But do not claim that you have an improved CMQueen++ settings if you
are not willing to post the settings, since this will make people believe that
you are only hoping instead of talking with enough evidence.
