Ok, so which is which?
How far away are the lights from the wall? I think that matters in a “scientific” test. For example, a working distance would be around 6’-+ not 3’-4’ which this looks like. I want to see a better example. Often “tests” by amateurs are not very well thought out or executed. Also a “test” should be done by someone with no vested interest in either product not a fanboy.
Rob is far from being an amateur and while he does use Godox products this test is fair. If you watch his videos comparing Profoto and Godox you’d see that.
Scientific comparison means they are compared on an equal standard, which they are.
Your definition of working distance being 6′-+ is called “subjective”.
