WHAT!!!!!!!

Duhhhhhhhh!

That's WHY it is done over a very brief period.
To allow for NO or VERY little changes.

Please pull your head out....quit re-inventing definitions to meet your needs.

How many times do we have to hash this out.

CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT IS THE KEY TO ANY TEST. PERIOD.

When you say 'I a-b tested', 99% of the people reading KNOW that it is over a brief period with as much control of the outside elemnts as possible.
Yet you want it to mean "over 12 months of random conditions"
Dont even begin to discuss that every part on your car has aged 12 months!!!!

Stick to the facts.
1. proof to me that my definition of 'testing', 'a-b testing' are incorrect.
2. show were any credible results are NOT tested in a controlled environment


Finally, your logic is false.
1. STRICT a-b testing by it's very nature eliminates as much varience as possible
2. something that by fact & design is for a very brief period cant be eroneous over time because 'over time' is eliminated!
