Therefore, any comparisons must take into account the different methods used to gather the data.
Point taken. Isn't that kinda retarded on the part of the manufacturers to use something different than everyone else? Why not everyone use a universal method to keep it consistent? Weird to me, that's all.

What kind of discrepancy is there between the different methods? How much different are the rates when calculated differently?
