While Bagley's Shootout was good PR because of its Slashdot exposure, as I
mentioned recently [1], Bagley confuses doubly-linked lists and deques, and
then goes on to benchmark C++ doubly-linked list against O'Caml pre-allocated
array. I don't want to say anything about scientific integrity, since I think
INRIA simply overlooked the poor quality and extreme lopsidedness of the
Shootout (They reference it on O'Caml's front page)

The Shootout page I referenced changed a bit since Aug 19, 2002, but, still,
it was the misleading results that were publicized.
