that's why max numbers for leak are pretty meaningless.

you can have a near perfect seal, (which you seem to have had with the p10) then pull the mask off for a couple seconds to scratch your nose, and poof, a wholly meaningless huge max leak

excellent that you found a mask that works for you too (I quite like the p10)

Maybe Resmeds behave that way but the Respironics sure won't.

so what?

the data you're arguing with came off a resmed machine, go look at what the poster used.

So for readers that do NOT have Resmeds, so there.

And who is arguing besides you? It's not me going to each thread to nitpick with whoever will...

My therapy is working

if correcting the misinformation you've presented is nitpicking, then I'm guilty.

you tell someone that something's wrong, and they should redo the tests, because you misinterpreted the data, you're causing confusion amongst people that don't know better.

if the data had come off a persperonics machine, then your criticism of it would have been valid, and a retest would have been in order, if not a diagnostic of the machine.

and, just as an aside, you *did* pop into someone elses thread to nitpick their good portrayal of their data, only you were incorrect in your criticisms.
