The quantified scientist would be the first to tell you that he's making these determinations on a sample size of one (sometimes he gets a friend to help, and then it's a sample size of two).
So maybe what ever tech you're thinking about will work for him and not for you or vice versa.
Unfortunately, it's kinda like the wild west out there. The tech changes so fast that no one has time to do a big study and figure out what actually works.
That is a fair point. It is hard to make an informed purchase in this environment.
