How this site is written

• Every article starts from something first-hand: a test we ran, a number we worked out, or a position we will defend. The author box under each article says what that is.
• Facts from outside come with their source, listed at the end. Primary sources first.
• Articles show the date they were last revised, and are revised when the facts change.
• Articles with referral links say so at the top. A commission never changes what we recommend, and we list the downsides too.
