Also, data can be used to your advantage of course. If I do ten stops with an average of 100 ft, but got a 95 in one run, then did ten stops with a different pad and got an average of 100 ft, but one with 105 ft... I can make it look like the pads improved it by 10 feet...

Not saying that's what Jeremy did, I don't know the details of his test, but simple surface temp differences between the tests will change braking distance.
