Anak:
What makes the idea you're a mere messenger difficult to accept is the level to which you seem to be invested in the tester's legitimacy. If the test seems irrelevant to the majority of MR users and their needs, then why not be the messenger truly and walk away, having delivered the mystifying results of a test that seems to grow more hilarious with the savoring of each hapless preference? After all, no one blames you for the results. You needn't defend the tester or apologize for their supposed "Germanness" (which qualification bothers me a tad -- my brother married a woman from Berlin whom he has lived with for the past twenty years and I've enjoyed numerous friends and girlfriends from Germany. None of them seemed inclined to "dig holes in the sand," as per your comment about what you seem to characterize as the national(ist) obsession with harvesting literal-minded data).
Personally, I'm pleased with the Aura HD technically, ergonomically and empirically. I've yet to fondle an e-ink reader with a better or even comparable screen. Kobos seem to have more than their share of glitches, but in my case, the eye-crinkling pleasure of the experience overall wills out over the occasional sputtering of the execution.
