People complaining that these escape methods aren't 100% effective or the testing isn't real enough are losing sight of the fact that it is an EMERGENCY escape.

You can't control all the variables or insure everyone gets out alive, that's the nature of a plane crash or landing fire or whatever. The airlines and the airplane engineers have designed a system that seems reasonable to me and made efforts to train the crew and deal with reasonable contingencies but they can't guarantee 100% safety in an accident by definition or it wouldn't be an accident.
