I read the Mosley ad also. It certainly wasn't well thought out. It 
was typical ad fluff without having technical ducks in a row..

Amen.

Second, they claim the test proved a "good thing". That's 
nonsense. A test like this proves very little one way or another 
when all the antennas are a few dB apart.

Until there is some verification with some of the unnecessary 
variables removed from the test, no one will know for sure what the 
results really are. Could be they are that bad, could be they are not.

I wouldn't bet either way.
