I do not believe that their evaluation was better than the evaluation of the
commercial programs.

A complex evaluation can be worse than a simple evaluation if you do not use a
lot of time for testing.

I believe that doing a big evaluation without enough testing is not a good idea.
They probably had a lot of mistakes in the evaluation so the fact it was more
complex does not prove that it was better.
