If you are throwing other test suite data away because it contradicts your conclusion, you should not be drawing conclusions from other test suite data. You have test suite data supporting R=3 over R=2. You have test suite data supporting VR=3 over R=2. You have game play data supporting VR=3 over R=2. You have unpublished game data supporting VR=3 over R=3. You have to throw something out, so you are willing to throw out the test suite data for R=3 over R=2 because it doesn't support your conclusion. It is unclear why you choose to throw out this evidence rather than some other evidence. What leads you to believe that this evidence is spurious while the other is not? And if the test suite evidence is spurious, why include it in order to support VR=3 over R=2? Throwing data out when it contradicts your conclusion and keeping it when it supports your conclusion doesn't seem proper. The autoplay games aren't up on the website, by the way. bruce
