Phoronix is an advertising-funded site.  It does whatever will bring 
more eyeballs to the site.  Sometimes doing the wrong thing or making 
wrong assumptions brings more eyeballs to the site so there is little 
incentive for improvement.  If you look through various article 
comments and the forums you will find plenty of advisements (which are 
generally ignored for the next go-around).

I feel free to say this even though Phoronix often uses my own 
software as part of its benchmarks. :-)
