Do you care to clarify that remark?  Because there's _plenty_ of
evidence that some IDE drives do not tell the truth about what
they're doing, and that SCSI has been, historically anyway, better at
dealing with parallel loads.  This is because of the historical
design goals of the two different systems.  Glib remarks about
misinformation are easy to make, but don't really help anyone make
decisions.
