Though I think Klaus's figure is to high I do accept his right to set the bar where he sees fit, But that bar should really remain constant for all cameras and not slide around to fit the story at the time.

Camera-based tests are never cross comparable. They never were and they never will be. Neither here at PZ nor elsewhere.
The tests provide a base on which you can rank a lens vs other lenses tested on the same camera-lens combination. This rank will remain the same or very similar on a different camera.
If I didn't remove the AA filter on the K5 I could as well stick to the K10D. The only point of restarting the tests is to do it on a higher (effective) resolution. This is a completely different question than whether the K5 is good or bad. We will not test the K5 here at PZ - the whole point of our sample is to do lens testing with it.
