At least all products on Scott`s panels are subjected to the exact same conditions albeit not consistent nor representative.. over the year he seems to get temperature swings at both extremes which when measuring a longer term product`s durability gives some confidence that they `can` last at such extremes.
I like ScottHD - he beats the `I can`t be bought` drum pretty hard (including throwing another under the bus) but we have to remember, there is significant goodwill on his part, I`d say he`s unlikely to be making money such is the nature of his testing. It is very hard to be overly critical of a guy who puts so much effort into something that is clearly a passion, publicises results with the intention of helping others and has in no way tried to monetise his channel despite the clear time and cost he himself incurs.
