Board Speed Errors

So in response to a lot of recent threads and a regular discussion lets clear one thing up when we talk about board speed.
People argue which board is faster, slower, and in between all the time. They use demo experience base material and numerous other things to make these often false comparisons. So how do we decide? Simply put it's near impossible to accurately compare to an exact.
What determines the speed of a board? A TON of factors and 99% of them aren't the board itself. Weight of board, weight of rider, snow temp, snow texture, air temps, wind, wax used, waxing technique, slope angle, rider technique, and more.
I don't care about how fast a board felt when you demoed it one day. I don't care about how much faster your friends board was when you switched half way through a day, none of that proves anything. Have I ridden faster and slower boards, of course, but with the exception of comparing boards at complete opposite ends of the spectrum 99% of people will have no TRUE way of deciding if "board a" is x times faster than "board b" outside of a controlled environment which a mountain is the exact opposite of.
