And yet, just upthread you seem to hold DCRainmaker up as some sort of expert on accuracy/precision, when in fact 1) he's had to reach out to people like Tom A and Robert Chung for help with doing a good job of it, and 2) he's never tested an SRM. Sorry, but that makes me think that, at least in actual practice, your standards aren't nearly as high as you pretend them to be.
1) As a general rule in life, when there are smart people that are experts on certain aspects of a topic, I like to chat with those smart people. I find that doing so usually yields interesting things. Both Tom and Robert have reached out and discussed ideas in the past. They have ranged from producing interesting graphs for certain power meters, to adding ideas for testing in general. I don't always agree with everything they state, and that's OK. I'm not sure I "had to reach out" for anything, I just think it's better to chat with smart people than live in a small bubble of my own thoughts.
2) I own an SRM, and have done tests with it. Not sure your point there.
As an aside - where's your published side by side accuracy data on all the power meters in the market today? I may have missed it.
