The following is from the front cover of AP

"Two fighting-fit enthusiast cameras, the Canon EOS 40D and the Olympus E-520, square up to each other. Richard Sibley is there to referee the bout"

If you have a fight you have to proclaim a winner, this is the flaw in AP tests. The winners and losers are the people who hand the money over for the purchase of their cameras or lenses and the losers are companies who fail to convince. Each purchase is based on extreme variables from combination of image quality, handling, kudos, build, features and cost to name but a few. With such variables, fighting is pointless as each persons needs are different. The worse aspect of this forum as a whole is infighting, and AP themselves are the leader and main protagonist. Isn't it about time there was an editorial change of direction, give peace a chance? Give us the info and we decide who wins and loses based on our own needs!
