I suppose it’s all fine at the end of the day. But the taking and posting of measured results is the only way to track one’s progress, and comparison (NOT competition) is a good indicator of progress and efficacy of technique.
Therefore, a standard is necessary. As for an illustration of methods, I wholeheartedly support it. So many guys lack the writing skills necessary to describe how they measure; this makes for some frustrating reposts.
If a guy could say “I measured like example A or B” rather than “I think I’m holding it right but it slipped and I measured half the side of my dick and half the top of my crank”… well, do you see what I’m sayin’?

And besides, do you think that people will really be concerned with how measurements are taken by another person, so much so that it actually influences them negatively?
Sorry, man, but this is almost laughably naive. This issue is hotly debated.
Have you not read any of the past threads about measuring? Are you unaware of the contention surrounding DLD’s methods?
I don’t expect that the debate on the pros and cons of top, side, bottom, or inner measurement methods will be eliminated. However, examples of the preferred technique (there is a consensus, if not unanimity) would go far toward instilling pe with a modicum of professionalism and authority.
