This is not a dig at the OP, I agree with him.
I don't think all of the reviews are complete in part because they haven't accounted for the mounting variations mentioned.
What is needed is at least 50 different tests each with the same blocks and different mounts. So the same 10 blocks with different reviews, for example, but each block is remounted five different times.
The aggregate data can then be analyzed and the spread can be computed.
Here is an old but fair example of testing methodology.

There is no doubt that since PC has declined the quality of data has as well.
As some of use may remember, it was the inability to come to a consensus on a way to maintain the standard of quality data that lead to PC's decline.
I am not going to bring up the old arguments.
