Unlike other bike manufacturers who hire high school kids to do their design and testing, Giant actually has their own engineers with Engineering degrees from MIT and other famous engineering schools, engineers who developed the criteria and testing for the Report Card making it an objective and scientifically poven report.
From the report card:
Giant didn’t set out to create a standard that focuses on laboratory-only forces. The Road Report Card goes beyond that and tests the forces that occur in real-world riding conditions. Forces that every rider, regardless of skill or fitness, experiences on every ride.
As you can see from the report card, Giant is superior to every other major bike brand in weight, comfort and stiffness.

I know you want a Cervelo because PCad has one, but face it, it's no Giant.
And Scott is no Giant.
