The issue is that "properly performed" depends upon who you ask. Once a number of different people/manufactuers perform the test, using different methods, then they cannot be compared to one another and for that purpose are essentially not useful. They are still useful to that company for looking at improvements or changes, but they aren't useful to say XYZ > ABC.
