I certainly wouldn't label the block a poor performer because of it, but in my (perhaps oversuspicious) mind I wouldn't say its a good sign. Polarflo aren't oblivious - we know they read Procooling, and as a manufacturer/designer they know how pitiful the testing at most sites is.

My business sense says if I design a block that performs really well, I'm going to send it off to be tested by all the best places so that I can demonstrate my superiority with scientific results, but if my block is an average performer with more looks than grunt, I'm going to send it to places that will take lots of pretty pictures and offer flowery praise without testing it particularly well.

I like the dangerden approach too, but if you know your block doesn't stack up, its just bad business to send it off to get panned when you know there are lots of sites happy to give it 10/10 and an editors choice for chrome plating.
