They have used machines to get proper testing done a couple of times.

Haha I guess I just like the whole concept too much to care a lot about the testing that's done. I mean, I agree that maybe they should give a more accurate test, but at the same time I think I can offer a counter argument. My mom loves a show called Chopped, which I've watched with her a few times. It's the same concept, just cooking, four chefs, 3 timed rounds that end in a taste test and elimination. The three judges that eat the food are all different with their own tastes, likes and dislikes. This could be called unfair for the same reason, bias. The tests in Forged in Fire are just to see how well the weapons hold up to use/abuse. They don’t have to be perfect tests. All they need to see is whether or not a normal strike from a normal guy breaks the weapon, or if it holds up to general abuse. It’s not an exact science. Sure a machine could do it easier, and perfectly. But machines won’t be using these weapons, will they?
