Let me ask some rhetorical questions. (Which means I know the answer already, so nobody has to answer them for me.)
Isn't the entire point of modern government politics to demagogue the opponent, to divide the nation's people, to sufficiently pull the wool over their eyes to garner an implicit consent for the politician's criminal activity? Isn't the entire driving force behind today's politicians a certain psychotic megalomania that dismisses civic duty and statesmanship in favor of personal gain? Is not a successful political campaign regarded as one that makes its public dumb, dumberer, and dumbest as humanly possible? Really, at the end of the day, isn't it true that politics is about tearing down the nation to vault oneself up, and to carve out a lifestyle of power and influence off the backs of the regular working guy, much like a parasite siphons the life from a host organism?
Maybe Mr. Larabel isn't perfect but if he's making an honest living I'm not sure he's due the shame that's owed a person who's involved in... ohh... let's say... government-sanctioned criminal enterprise.
Depends on the politician you are working for. If you want actual information instead of hyperbolic rhetoric just look at who is spending what money where. I can guarantee you that the majority that are the way you describe belong to one particular party that gets incredible amounts of money from corporations to do things that will harm the poor for corporate gain.
As for the next statement. Blame the media, they condense everything down to a 10 second sound bite so they can get back to their regularly scheduled celebutard infotainment instead of actually doing real news work. Try actually going to th functions and learning how things actually happen and how hard it is to get the actual information in the hands of the public because the news wont do so. Remember, the news is part of the entertainment and advertising wings of media corporations these days, it's in their interest to make every race look like a dead heat to keep uneducated eyeballs glued to their idiot boxes.
Ok, so what is "government-sanctioned criminal enterprise" about community organizing, registering legal voters, helping write bills that are completely constitutional etc? I've never done anything illegal in my line of work, never been asked to do so and would never take a job from someone that would.
TL;DR
Larabel isn't perfect, but he's the only one and there is allot he could do better if he actually tried. As the only face of Linux benchmarking it is his duty to do so. But instead he whines and does the bare minimum then laments why nobody takes the site seriously. Well it's hard to take Phoronix seriously when Larabel doesn't.
This is as far off topic as I'm going to let you go. I won't reply to any more inquires on me or politics.

If your input lag is so bad try switching to USB, it's sample rate is much faster then that of PS/2 devices. It's that, or your reaction times aren't nearly as fast as you think Spiderman.

The DVI, HDMI and Displayport connection standards where never designed to go higher then 60FPS/Hz. With the updates for 4K/QFHD resolutions the extra bandwidth is there for the increased resolution and the increase to 10-bit color, not the framerate.
That your GPU can pit out frames that fast is irrelevant to this fact. The added rendering power is being wasted as heat and power draw if you aren't running detail setting high enough or are not using vSync as at 200 FPS your screen is still only refreshing every 3.33 renders, which can result in tearing.
Frame latency, minimum framerate and average framerate are the only metrics that matter. Max framerate is completely and utterly pointless since you can measure that by facing a static wall and not moving.
