Just imagine you're out in the woods with a crossbow.
Now a bear jumps out of nothing and you are fighting for your life.
You have bought that crossbow based on a benchmark published by an outlet that focuses on crossbows for beginners.
You are going to need a couple of bolts to stop the bear running at you, and you need to shoot them as fast as possible.
You bought that crossbow based on a benchmark published by an outlet that focuses on crossbows for beginners.
Because it's focused on beginners, they have a hard capped reloading speed of 1 bolt per 5 seconds.
Even though there are crossbolts that can reload in 3 seconds, the benchmark would not reflect this,
because they are not targeted at experts and assume that everybody is clumsy anyway.
because they are not targeted at experts and assume that everybody is clumsy.
The benchmark showed two crossbows, A and B, but it concluded that both let you reload 1 bolt every 5 seconds,
even though B can actually be reloaded in 3 seconds. But that result was not published.
So you ended up buying crossbow A, leading to your death against the bear.
So you ended up buying crossbow A instead of B, leading to your death against the bear.
The inaccuracy of the benchmark lead to your downfall.
In a life or death situation, you want the fastest crossbow out there.
