I don't think it really matters what reputation anyone has, if you throw benchmarks out into the world and make claims about them, you should throw the code out too so people can repeat it and find flaws. I'm not suggesting malicious intent at all here. People make mistakes, and contrary to what seems to be popular opinion, good benchmarks are hard.
