Plain and simple the Allison is at the end of it's power limits.
Someday they are bound to be right.
Kinda like stock pickers who choose to be a bull or a bear. At some point they will be right.

Give me a GOOD reason they won't rate it higher.
You just dismiss it as no good, and your OPINION is better.
