I'd question the level of connection. I am just an interested DIY-er, just a customer. While I have had commercial ventures, they are in the past. Actually, one of the major points keeping me out of the commercial end are the restrictions it would put on my research.

As to bias, and attacks, I can deal with that. The attacks on the results can be discounted by the standard practice of publishing the details and equipment used to gather the results. For certain attacks, one must consider the source's bias and motivation too. For some, I suspect that all I'll have to do is mention the name in connection with a measurement and wait for the attack.

I made an open invitation to contribute suggested methods and samples. Since I have heard nothing on the method, let alone the sample offers, I'll assume a complete lack of interest in the project from any winders, and that this will continue while I post the measurements.

What will likely happen is that the criticism, and attacks will appear like cockroaches in the dark, and go away with similar speed when questioned in detail. When performing unbiased measurements, it is hard to become concerned about biased attacks, no matter how well they are coordinated. I have read both RAT and Kipling.
