Hamel Husain: don't decide on benchmarks alone, build product-specific evals and look at the data

Hamel Husain clarifies he's neither for nor against specific benchmarks or vendors — his point is that people should look at the data themselves. To know if something really works, you need product-specific evals rather than abstract benchmarks; but since people will keep using benchmarks for decisions anyway, at least examine the data.
