How is decanting a representative sample cheating? I'm clear on the
idea of "taking samples from the bottom", but have never heard anyone
suggest that technique would be anything but misrepresentation.
Perhaps the folks having trouble duplicating the results using the
same stuff are not following the manufacturers instructions and are
not being forthcoming about their brew techniques?

what gets tested. If you are decanting the tea and taking samples
from the solids in the bottom, that is 'cheating' and gives
unrepresentational higher fungal numbers.....this is not the way to
go.
