    Info? Hah.

    You're giving him too much credit. He's got theories at best, and he says so himself. And as far as I'm concerned, the adjective used to describe them is an 8-letter word starting with 'c' and ending with 't'.

    I looove crossword puzzles. Let's see -- an 8-letter word that begins with "c" & ends with "t" and applies to Chris?

    No doubt-- it's gotta be "chitchat"!!! :D

    Yep, Chris enjoys participating in chitchat. Me, too. So... why not mellow out, solly old bean? :cool:

    True,

    With a fixed set of functionality and a limited data domain programmers, are not able to write perfect code (off course) and testers are not able to test all the theoretical paths (for reasons of money and human errors).

    AV tester has the problem that he/she has to collect available test set them selves. So there is a reason behind enlarging the (economy of) scale and specialising on certain test aspects (like self protection). It all adds to a better valuation of the software.

    Given this I am very happy with the tests. Personally I would like to know the scores devided in zoo and wild samples. I also would like to know the number of FP's with heuristics tests (as a percentage when it is a secret).

    Regards Kees
