Well ive certainly flexed them, researched them, talked to people who have ridden them and now own a pair, so I would consider myself knowledgeable. They are an 09 ski after all, obviously not many people have ridden them, so I can say with confidence I know more about their performance than the majority of people. Your theory that if they havent ridden them they must be ignorant fools is just plain silly. I agree that there is a lot of stuff flying around this years JJs that is just pure hype, but dont group everyone in together. I posted so as to let you know that not everyone was just talking out of their ass, which is clearly what you are trying to discern. Actually just throw all of that away, since its obvious you are just doing this to be a prick. Its internet advice, if they want to listen to the hype, fuck it, if they want to do more thorough research, it can easily be found~
