The CSS is the promoter of the the test with its name CSS in front.

The same: WB admin is not a test expert and Meiler is the main Tester of the CSS
test.

Pillen is not a test expert. He's just a fan of automatic played games.

Schwartmann is not a test expert  but a CSS resident who's recently in
opposition to Gurevich. He's also a fan of autoplayer games.

Of course you do. Either you collect like Dann C. who just said that the test is
flawed or you  like autoplayer games, but this makes no test expert. You are
completely misleaden.
