I agree.
A bad thing about these "Taste Reports" are when/if they're done on a misidentified cultivar or a poorly developed bunch.
No data is better than bad data.
A grower should not make a decision based on the org, but instead use it as a direction on what to research.
A large and extensive study of 15 synthetic hybrids was recently done in Puerto Rico.
Best Dessert Banana - SH-3640
Best Cooking Banana - FHIA-23
FWIW, out of the synthetic hybrids I've tasted, the SH-3640 was the best dessert banana and there has not been a close second.
