As you well know, a blocks performance curve is not linear in respect to flow rate. Someone could easily skew a test to the dumb masses by running a really low flow for a block that is designed for a higher water presure. A set of flow rate points establishes a curve that one can see the direction performance is heading on either end. A really well block could be made to look like it is only slightly better than the pack with only one flow comparison.
I agree that after a proper test was done it could be diluted or dumbed down in its presentation but there will always be data to back up conclusions at least.

That's the answer I was looking for on the flow rate issue and agreed. Luckily it is one of the easier and cheaper measurments to get reasonable accurate. Now what about inlet and outlet temp? I find it would be pretty difficult to measure a .5C raise in temp with equipment even .25C inaccuracy curve. So why again is this measurement important and usefull and worth the money to fork out?
