My points are:

1.) I doubt you'll find small manufacturers with private
label cables using the same test methods or standards as
larger manufacturers.

2.) Comparing one unknown rating method to another unknown
method by a retailer who shops for small manufacturers to
supply custom cables isn't a reliable way to make a choice.

3.) Insisting worse possible case tests set absolute ratings
in our applications is silly. It just shows how we don't
understand the ratings.
