I always have reservations about much of anything on that web site.  He
states that the scans were done on a Flextite at 3200, then claims that's as
good as it gets.  That's not true.  There are many scanners with higher
resolution.  A lot of this has to do with scanner operation as well.  It's
interesting the comparisons aren't done with drum scans.

I believe he is completely biased in his assessments, and I really don't
know what the basis for his severe bias is, but I can only guess...  Perhaps
someone is holding a Canon to his head ;-)
