So basically you're saying that because he cares and because he tried, and because the comments were dumb, nobody should criticize him? Do you really not care about getting accurate results?
Running benchmarks is an engineering practice. If you failed to get meaningful results, you failed. Yes, he cares, yes, he tried, yes, the comments are dumb, but he still failed. Sure, I'll give the guy kudos for trying, but I'm not going to pretend he didn't fail. As far as I'm concerned, telling someone they failed is a favor, because now they can change their methodology, try again, and maybe succeed. It's part of the process of achieving meaningful results. The entire point of what he's doing is to achieve meaningful results, not to get a participation medal.
Weddpros was making the point that criticism worked. The poster tried (An important first step), failed, and critical people pointed out his errors. Weddpros points out the poster corrected those errors because he received criticism. Weddpros is clearly a fan of critical feedback.
