However, I see them sending them out to you even when they have the "best?" tester in their employ. Why send out products anywhere else unless Bills data could appear bias or homegrown since he profits and isn't.... un.. bias? Isn't Bill capable of doing these himself?

Hmmm. I just mailed a block off to Phaestus for testing. I asked that once he's done that he either returns it, or sells it and passes the money back to me, or he buys it. He neither asked for a discount nor a free block, and I'm not in a financial position to provide him with any. In the meantime he can keep it indefinitely for his upcoming waterblock roundup.
If you are accusing Phaestus (Derek) of taking "cash for comments", whether cash be actual money or donated blocks which can then be sold for money, then you had better provide some evidence of it, or retract your comments as they are quite libelous.
It is natural for water-block makers to seek independent testing. It is also natural for the water-block makers to seek independent testing based upon the tester showing an acute awareness of the issues that face water-block testing, rather than the pelthora of sloppy reviews we see about the place.
Phaestus is taking a position of independence and throwing his comments in the ring, yet you, Winewood, would seem intent on tarnishing everyone with the bias brush.
Ask yourself, why would any other waterblock maker (like me) pay out of his own pocket to send a block to review to someone who he believed would be biased?
I choose who I send blocks to very carefully. Not based on who will give me a good rap, but based on who will do the job properly.
