First off, I love data and testing! Without it were are left with opinions, quesstimations and "eye-of-newt, toe-of-frog" mixing. A lot can be done that way, but results can be improved much faster with hard data.

I'm a huge fan of data mainly because it allows us to compare things and discuss them, not argue without any foundation or facts.
Opinions are perfectly fine and nobody ever said people can't have opinions, and I know that's not what you were saying but I just wanted to stress that.
We're just trying to make sure people new to screens can see some data and testing and realize there is more to all this than just opinions. The bottom line is without data standards it comes down to personal preferences and opinions and what one person likes such as a warmer or cooler screen image may not be what someone else prefers.
Plus our eyes are all different and what appears neutral to one person may look totally different to someone else. By testing we can actually tell the color balance, uniformity, and yes performance of a screen which takes out the guess work and believe it or not actually makes things easier in the long run.
