The point is we are not saying it should live up to anyone's mark or standard, just
define and back up that mark. A blanket "we have the best batteries in the world" is fine,
if can be proven true. If so, great. Do they have anything to prove to us? Not if they don't want to. They could have just scoffed at this thread and walked away. No, they chose to post here and then many of us responded. Yeah, those discussions can get heated, but that's the nature of the beast. "Can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen."
No, maybe not everyone is as knowledgable as some here, but for how long? BL is not exactly cutting edge anymore being made available for the masses at a decent price.
As you pointed out, many other industries have standards for rating and testing. Seeing a sticker saying "meets
standards" would eventually be trusted and would let people know that the product is rated approriately with a common set of guidelines, whatever those may be. And many of those companies you stated are considered good companies because of their quality/longevity, not their marketing. Ford could say they are the most reliable car in the world, but repair shops and consumer experience will eventually tell the tale. And guess what? Consumers will eventually come not to trust them.
