Can't argue with that, but I was surprised that in the mobile audio end, the CES standards allowed the better companies to show they had dependable products that were not full of BS. That forced the lower-end companies to either step or have the obvious omission of the key testing criteria. It really helped. I saw a AVR review recently that tested using the CES measurements, so hopefully it will begin tricking into the mfg test as well. I won't hold my breath.
