    No, I don't think you have been misinformed. I think that's probably true. They are aware and I suspect they hang their heads in despair at some of the things they read. Public forums are there for all to see.

    Enthusiast cynic, that's a new on me. You can be enthusiast or you can be cynical. To be an enthusiast cynic is a new on me. But you're right,Yes I am cynical about some of the things posted on forums. That's because I don't profess to know more than people who make these things. Like I said...

    Well, from the people who work for them would be a good start. Some will be using Swarovski binoculars just like anybody else.

    I just think that the people who make some of the best optics in the world must know what they are doing.

    I am no expert on optics, however, I have read on the internet ( so it must be true ) lol.

    I think you may have mis-read my question. If the view is good, why does it matter? It doesn't matter what you are looking at. If the view is good, It's good. It's just that I'm inclined to think that there are more variables in amateur testing than there are in the manufacture's of word class...
