Further we don't know how well the chain was lubed and with what nor do we know the quality of the chain and sprockets.

Do you think that someone other than Carbon Drive hired them to do it?

Edit: I am not even saying that they are definitely inaccurate findings, but it certainly seems reasonable not to trust testing that was almost certainly commissioned by the manufacturer either directly or indirectly.
