Exactly.
They rattled off some sort of standard that identifies the testing procedure, but I really have no idea what the Weds failure rate is by comparison (I doubt it's 0%) or know whether it even really matters.
Basically, they showed one of their wheels surviving this test (which may or may not matter) and one competitor's wheel failing (which may or may not matter). That's marketing, not science.
I think its awesome that Weds wheels may be a little stronger -- does that justify the cost difference or give them the ability to claim it will "save my life"? Beats me.
But the fact they presented it as a life saving issue is really, really, insulting.
