I have a serious question. Why are energy control reports pointed to as proof a vendor does(or does not) accurately dose their tabs.
As far as I understand it that would only be proof of a single sheet being laid well. Less than that I suppose as you can have unevenly dosed sheet. So why does someone see say a TGUK or BV EC report and go "Their tabs are on point!" when everyone who ordered after the test, almost certainly did not receive the tabs from the same sheet.
Why do peope count the results as anything other than anecdotal evidence? Right now I often see posts referring to how certain vendors are "100% legit EC doesn't lie!"
So, with that being said. Why do EC tests on a single tab of a single sheet from a vendors thousands and thousands every produced, make such a difference in who people purchase from? I can think of a couple vendors who's main point of sales seems to be EC reports posted about their product.
Because that single test is infinitely better than no test at all? The test isn't anecdotal.
Your point about being complacent and extrapolating the results to the entire sheet and vendor in general is well taken but again, it serves as good guide in the absence of any test at all.
