[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1114092, member: 32260"] In the wild, the sets of missed samples can significantly differ for any two AVs, even if the total number of missed in-the-wild samples would be the same. So, the sample missed by one AV can often be detected by another AV. If one tests two AVs (AV2 and AV3) on the sample already missed by AV1, those AVs (AV2 and AV3) have a fair chance to detect the sample. From such a test one cannot conclude, that AV1 is inferior to AV2 and AV3. Such (usually unconscious) manipulation can often happen when the tester believes that AV1 is inferior to AV2 and AV3.
