PLEASE do me the courtesy of reading what I write before replying to it.
I did not "dispute the established data", I asked you to provide it. You said "there's a ton of research" and "it's well-established" and provided exactly ZERO proof of the truth of those two assertions. Simply SAYING "there's a ton of research" and "it's well-established" is not actually proof.
I also did NOT "claim that ownership is an asst to objectivity" - in fact I explicitly conceded that it can be an impediment thereto. Finally, those organizations which do "independent tests" actually do OWN the models they test, at least of devices like ereaders, so according to your argument, they suffer the same impediment to objectivity
