Unfortunately very shady companies have used that same claim and logic for 
prefering Blue Wool over Wilhelm in the past, and the result has been inksets 
that were claimed to be very long-lived via the Blue Wook standard, which were 
extremely short-lived in reality. At least with the Wilhelm failures we know 
exactly what went wrong. If you are looking for legitimacy in the inkjet market, 
you will need to use the same types of testing the big players (Epson, HP) 
use, not those that the fly-by-nights (I'll avoid inserting a list here <G>) 
use, no matter what your personal opinions of the various test methods may be; 
its not yourself you need to convince.
