But I don't suggest that, do I?

It's me saying MVT is better than traditional split testing, which *usually* is just a/b. Indeed if you google split testing, the A/B wiki page comes up.

"A/B testing, split testing or bucket testing compares a control sample to other samples in order to discover how to improve response or conversion rates."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A/B_testing


Whereas MVT has a page to itself:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivariate_testing

HTH clear up any confusion.

The takeaway from all this though is there never is 'a perfect tour', you should constantly be testing and improving. And I think we're in agreement about that.
