I was just going over Bill Adam's article, titled "Waterblock Bench Testing" (here), and I thought I'd quote this paragraph, from page 1:

Don't ignore the rest of the article.
He has answered all of the relevent questions in that one article. The limitations of his setup. Why cross calibration is required for comparative data. How to cross calibrate with multiple test setups, even a suggested set of standard test conditions for determining a cross calibration offset curve for each unique test die package. That should have been the very first place to start with this whole new forum instead of rehashing and trying to cut corners.
The best thing a so called WBTA could offer is to make and loan out a single standard test die with insulation, probes and heat elements for other testers to cross calibrate with. That is the way I see the model BillA laid out. If this WBTA is to lead the way it must do so by example (do it right).
Also needed is to win the lotto, mortgage the house or wait for that rich uncle to kick off.
