<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 7483077, member: 105571&quot;]Now that is a thought-provoking proposition.&nbsp; Is it fair?&nbsp; I think that may depend upon how it is done and for what purpose.&nbsp; But my general feeling is that while it may be &quot;fair&quot;, it may not be wise because it feels like a &quot;gotcha&quot; exercise.&nbsp;&nbsp; My thinking below:</p><p><br /></p><p>First, we all know instances where such tests are conducted.&nbsp; The TSA tests of their own screeners at the airports comes to mind.&nbsp;&nbsp; Your test, unlike the TSA&#039;s, would be done by a third party (you) not internally by the TPG.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I suspect that if the TPG was not involved and you embarrassed them by publicizing the results, then they would not be appreciative to say the least.&nbsp;&nbsp; I suppose this would qualify as &quot;unfair&quot; and you would also probably be <i>persona non grata.</i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p>If you involved the top management of the TPGs and received their buy-in ahead of time, then they might be willing to go along as an exercise in honing their graders&#039; skills and knowledge.&nbsp; But I think they would be hard-pressed to keep it from their graders and I still think they would fear the embarrassment if the results got to the public.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So I imagine the TPG reaction would likely be negative regardless of how it was approached. </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe the next question is if your goals would be enhanced or damaged by pursuing this course.&nbsp; Since you haven&#039;t stated what your goals are, I can only guess and I would much prefer if you stated them.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I don&#039;t see much point in it myself since the TPGs and we already know they have slabbed and certified as genuine documented counterfeits.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
