One should only apologize if one did something _truly_ wrong :-)

I have a problem with current benchmarks, because I think the data
store of all the factors are limited. For example, if I get 500
different identical CPU's with one tiny difference... they have
different firmware, or different network/graphic cards, etc.; even if
you build with the same options, well -- point being, the article pat
demonstrated us is enlightening, but not all-encompassing.

I tend to think many people forget that little last bit.
