It does make you think about the "conventional wisdom" and how wrong it can be. Now, am I going to mothball my Shoei and go out and get the Z1R? Probably not, but if I had to buy a new one I'd definitely think about it.

It does make you wonder how much other stuff we "know", but hasn't been subjected to any rigorous testing, is flat wrong.
