In other words.. get a grip.. and do what works for you.. and say ferk it to all this bloody pointless 'for the sake of it' testing.

I don't think it deserves to be called pointless, in fact I think it's quite interesting to see how lossless codecs are evolving in comparison to each other.
Obviously these people enjoy doing what they are doing so why knock them ? sure they get a bit stroppy and righteous sometimes but the same could be said of any group of enthusiasts.
Considering that the fundamental nature of the players being discussed in this forum is also lossy codecs, I think their results are quite relevant.
Some people like the warm fuzzy feeling that they get when using a codec that has been tested by others and found to be good.
It's no more pointless a hobby than train/ aircraft spotting or stamp collecting and if it gives them and others some satisfaction then good luck to them.
Anybody who wants to should feel free to use these results/ information if they so desire, my one caveat would be not to let it overshadow the enjoyment of your music (which is the whole point in the first place).
