You're making an even less charitable set of assumptions: 1). I'm incompetent enough to ignore publicly available table benchmarks. 2). I'm incompetent enough to never look at poor quality data. 3). I'm incompetent enough to not create a validation dataset for all models that were available. Needless to say you're wrong on all three. My day rate is $400 + taxes per hour if you want to be run through each point and why VLMs like Gemini fail spectacularly and unpredictably when left to their own devices.
