On this one, I agree with Elian. I doubt that a press release of this nature would have much impact because we haven't done anything worth mentioning
I agree with Elian too. I've been using these results in a low-key way when I talk to the press, but usually I down play it. When the question of quality comes up, I prefer to stress that we know we aren't perfect, and that we have a long way to go, but that we are proud of what we have already accomplished.
The idea is that we should continue to portray ourselves as "a project to create..." rather than as a finished product. Because, frankly, we do have a long way to go in many ways.
Putting out a press release crowing about this test just invites more hostile reviews to conduct the same type of test, but with an eye toward showing how broken we are in many ways.
