Re: Why is IE8 the absolute worst at the acid3 browser test?
All,
So, the bottom line meaning of these test scores is what?
When you score 20 of 100 in an IQ test, what does that tell you about yourself? In my view, it likely, tells you little to nothing. If such a test score would be meaningful, all we would need to do it to take a test to determine our worth. Won't happen! BTW, it tells you you scored 20 out of 100.
Here is what one person has to say about th Acid3 test:
There is more to webbrowsing than passing the artificial Acid3 test. Sure it is nice, but it does not tell us anything about the browsing experience. Is it fast? Is it smooth? Does it support handy plugins? Tabs? Does it crash? And if so, does it remember where I was? How secure is it? How easy are bookmarks, history, etc to use? And so on.
There are many, many aspects that are, IMHO, far more important than passing any Acid test.
There is always more to a story than meets the eye.

Not to derail the thread, but if one scored a 20 on an IQ test that tells them they're a dumb as a brick, but they probably wouldn't understand (assuming the person was honest and trying to do their best). Nearly 99% of people score over a 65 on IQ tests. A better IQ analogy would be that a 130 score doesn't mean much. It puts one in the top 2%, but can't measure all the other intangibles that go into being "smart". |

What if someone who is really smart said they don't care about the IQ test and just put random or funny answers? Are they no longer smart because of the holy test?
This specific test was designed to test one very specific thing, and idiots are claiming it's actually a "best browser in the world" test.

Obviously not.
But again, I don't want to derail the topic. |
