Yes, I wasn't saying they were lying about their tpc.org posted results. I'm saying both companies made use of clever indirection, wording, presentations of stats, etc. Like price/performance, and which of your competitor's tier's to select when doing that, and which of your own. Or over-provisioning the competition's setup, for example.

Ahh, fair enough there. That said, snowflake would help their case if they would actually do at least one actual tpc.org third party result

My guess is that they know the result won't look terrific. And they also know Snowflake works well in production for people despite that. So, little upside.

For sure.

All leaders in a space take this approach. Little be gained, a fair bit to lose if you are ALREADY leading without having to debate / do a benchmark etc.

Anyways, the benchmark is only one part of the overall story for these solutions.
