I cannot agree with you.
It is good not to have a review done than to have a factually incorrect one.
Axel did a tough job considering the number of engines tested , but the
development team has a right to point out factual errors in the review if they
think there are some.

The issues raised by Enrico are valid issues - not badgering (and Axel has
accepted some of them already).
Errors are errors and even the most well-intentioned tests might have them.

It is in everyones interests that more tests like this get done and also get
corrected when errors are found.

By the way , considering your response - I think you have never been emotionally
involved in any project : when you give 80+ hours a week on somthing you believe
in , then you will understand why Enrico reacted the way he did.

Thanks to Axel for doing the tests and for Enrico for paying such attention and
pointing out the mistakes !
