Subject: Is the "GS-2930-Test" reliable?

There is the new "GS-2930-Test" for some time, in order to determine with very
strong chess programs (over 2500 ELO/SSDF) an exact ELO strength number.  14
positions select by the program are to be calculated during 20 min. on the
analysis level, whereby "only the time counts, after that the solution course at
the display appear and also up to 20. minute is maintained".  (a non-solve
position becomes 20 min. term in prison).  The individual solve and terms in
prison are then added to a total time (TT) in minutes, from itself with the help
of the formula:  GS = 2930-(TTx1,5) the ELO number results in.

My questions:  Is this test really reliable, or is worthwhile themselves the
immense expenditure of time (the monitor, since some programs display the
solution course, then again to reject, after some time again displays... etc.
must be finally observed continuously.)?
Who already checked the 14 positions on its computer or with its programs?

Thank you and greeting:

Carlo
