Of what? The "science" of observation?

Yep, though Latin is not my strong suite. The problem is that things
are *never* equal between operating systems. Just observation alone as
a basis of jugding differences in performance between operating
systems is simply invalid.
It is similar to saying that a SQL in Oracle is slow because you don't
like it taking 10 minutes to complete because you're other SQL takes
10 seconds - and hey, they are *both* SQL, both on the same table,
both return 10 rows, so both should be equally fast! Right?
Making judgements by mere observation.. sorry, that simply does not
cut it IMO.
