[QUOTE="Bill V, post: 667841, member: 54538"] Not only isn't the article about Sport Tracs--but even if it was, and the article were to say that the Sport Trac passed the testing with flying colors, the question remains "So what?" Nowhere does the article say how any competitor vehicles did, or if they were even tested. So we really have no way of knowing what it means for a vehicle to have passed these tests. Further, that article really didn't even contain any "data". It gives us a subjective summary of the tests, and then never tells us the results of the tests. The article was written from a marketing, not scientific, standpoint, and therefore doesn't hold much value to many people on this site who have demonstrated a fairly sound knowledge of scientific methods. If it provided some numeric information on how Ford vehicles did--even if they weren't STs--and how other competitors' vehicles did in comparison, then it might be something. But without that, the people on this site were correct to question this as fluff--and it is clear in reading the responses that they were questioning THE ARTICLE, not R himself--so he needs to stop taking everything so @#$%ing personally. And I'm sorry, I can't let the article go without pointing out that the very first piece of numeric data in the article--THE DATE--is completely wrong. If the author can't even get that right, how can anything else be trusted? [/QUOTE]
