In my opinion no, I shouldn't, nor should anyone else and is why I added the part about having grown tired of mostly meaningless finger-pointing about how bad the other guy is all while no evidence of how good the one making the claim supposedly is. NGC is clearly implying they're better and that their coins have not suffered the same as select PCGS coins have, so why not make a proper case instead of relying on said implications? If NGC is truly outperforming or at least not suffering the same as PCGS is, they'd be much better served by simply presenting the proper evidence, with equal comparisons (as is possible), and even giving examples of where PCGS coins have preformed better.
