Granted, some of those may be dated, but the point is, Yes, independent tests are often done.

If you are dumb enough to buy a radar/laser detector and thing you'll never get a speeding ticket, then it's not the detectors fault. You're an idiot.

I have my detector for advance warning, because that's all it provides. I try to scan as much of the road as I can, but because I have to pay attention to 360* of other people, I can't be looking ahead, or behind, all the time. The detector can.

Lasers/Radars work line of sight just like a persons eyes do. You can't shoot a laser through a tree. So if the cop can see me, I can see them. Now they may gun me, or they may gun the car next to me. Either way, my detector will go off and I will slow down. This helps in 1 of 2 ways. 1. They detect me, I slow down, and he doesn't move. 2. They get a ping, but aren't 100% sure who it is, I slow down and as we pass them they see the other car going faster, and pull them over.

The radar detector is just another attempt to be even more alert/aware of my surroundings than I naturally already am. I don't expect it to save me Every time. I'm banking on it coming in handy when there is a moderate tone, and I slow down, eventually passing the cop at the speed limit. Or, it goes off from me being pinged by a parked car spamming trons and the cop isn't paying attention initially, and by the time he checks it, I've slowed down enough that he doesn't bother coming out.

I don't do 95 in a 70 anyways, most of the time I'm doing <10 over, unless I know the road/highway well and their hiding spots, I will do <15 over. If you're doing more than that, then more power to you. You must not be worried about the fines/points as much as I do.
Hey genius ! radartest.com sells the units, they are not unbiased testing results, you think a online retailer is going to give a bad report on items they sell.
