Michael,
     No, you're right- it probably wouldn't tell us much except how hot your 
chiles are in relation to each other.  I have posted before that these tests are 
only good in so far as they indicate general potentials for the varieties 
rather than predicting absolutes about anyone persons' particular pod.  As I 
also stated, so very much is dependent on the subject doing the testing that, to 
each their own.  The point I was trying to make was that, for all its' 
drawbacks, HPLC is the accepted standard for ratings.  Certainly it can be 
understood the need for a single testing process, rather than a dozen or so 
ad-hoc methods each with wildly varying results.  Two cents poorer now....
