If that is true, then UOAs must also be gathered in the same careful, mixed fashion. My 2 cents is that most of the data in these VOAs and UOAs is suspect at this point, and probably a waste of time and money if very controlled methods were not used.
I love reading and discussing and talking oil, but I think the OCD over this has got to the point where the "data" is highly suspect in many of these threads.
Not giving up the oil obsession, just not worrying about what a lot of gets posted is all
