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....
