Some will exceed that standard by more than others wether they have MIPS or not, but that data is not given to the consumer.
I was (quite obviously) responding to the portion of your post that is in bold, below -- because it is utter nonsense. No one wears a motorcycle helmet to ride a bike, just as motorcyclists do not wear bicycle helmets.

MIPs doesn't necessarily mean it is a safer helmet. For example I am sure a motorcycle helmet without MIPs is far safer than a cycling helmet with it.
You do realize that there are independent labs testing bike helmets, and there are studies of the effectiveness of MIPS and other technologies? The claim that "everything is just speculation" is simply not true.
