Given your demonstration of my position, is it fair to conclude you believe I should retract all things I said about the other Amsoil UOA? Would you insist that I denounce the excellent wear the AME provided, and suggest sticking to OEM OCIs instead of extending them, as I did?
Further, I understand the difference between micro and macro statistical analysis. Under your mantra, there would be no ability whatsoever to have any faith in any statistical modeling. Under your concept, we would not have medical trials (because no two human beings are the same), we would not know now much chlorine/aeration to use in water treatment, because no two gallons of potable water are the same. With your dictum in mind, we have no ability to mass produce any manner of products, because no two sets of stamping dies or machine tools are exactly the same.
In fact, with your condemnation of macro modeling in mind, there's no reason to ever do UOAs because if they were only applicable to an individual engine, we'd have no need for API standards now, would we? Rather, we'd all be on our own to contract with local oil refineries to brew up our own lubes. In your world, we cannot compare/contrast similar vehicles used in similar conditions with similar products?
I'll stick to what I know and do; the rest of the world and I seem to understand how it works.
