It cuts both ways though which is what I’m trying to say. Humans can’t say “this artifact is 20% worse”. Everyone has a subjective opinion.

I disagree thought mostly about the codec characterization. H265/AV1 are definitely higher quality at the same bitrate. The test I used is to find the bitrate that artifacts started to be noticeable. H265 was 15-20% smaller bitrate consistently (across multiple people surveyed, not just me). I could definitely believe that AV1 manages a similar feat above that.
