\+1 this, a lot of people misunderstand what auditing means. After I called out Codesmith's auditors/and-or Codesmith for signing off and publishing the wrong report to CIRR that contained incorrect data, Codesmith published a video AND blog post about what auditing is and why it's important in validating their results and I think that it further re-iterates this notion that auditing = "better results" instead of actually explaining what auditing is.
I will keep being loud about auditing is but appreciate this haha.
