But the committee is constantly talking about the importance of eye test.

0:06.0

I test, I test, I test.

0:08.0

It feels like this committee, even more so than years past,

0:12.0

is valuing eye test more so than they are head-to-head results,

0:15.0

which is a little uncomfortable.

If you want me to be completely honest.
