Yeah, though the anchor works exactly as they say, I don't think they're doing themselves any favors with some of their tests. I made my decision on a few others I'd found, one of which was the captain of a sailing vessel who used a GoPro to film how the anchors behaved both as manufacturers instructed and as he discovered worked. I think I linked the page in my official review, but if not it shouldn't be hard to find. VERY in-depth.
