"and of course the above presumes that the mfgr has a better understanding than the reviewer - not always true at all
(JoeC and pH both already know a great deal, and will know yet more as their testing progresses - knowledge is power, I can speak to this)"

This brings up the point of true independent reviews; should I comment on how wbs might be improved (assuming I have an idea)? Is objectivity compromised by the act of making suggestions to a mfgr? Thorny issues quite separate from the "typical" review = free advertising or review = free stuff for kids equations.

Still struggling with this myself. I currently don't like to do testing for wb development (you have 50+ wbs if I did right Bill? lol) but will test production quality prototypes prior to release as long as that can be posted as a review on release day.

I really should talk to you soon about commercial testing Bill because I am getting some requests and don't want to get unfairly used by mfgrs.
