This was simply a chance to make good on some speculation about whether Buttercups represented a measurable difference in the feel of one specific fork RockShox makes (the Zeb). We're not claiming it's perfect nor scientific - just a fun experiment. It's not a review of a fork, just a closer look at a particular feature. Comparing to other forks is irrelevant since using BCs with them is not an option.
That doesn't mean more back to back testing (like this or between other forks) wouldn't be interesting or enlightening, just that comparisons to other forks wasn't the point of this exercise.
