One would have to surmise that if you’re not using SMR as a point of reference in your purchasing decision, then there is no reason to look at the pricing data. If no one is looking at the pricing data, how does everyone know it’s flawed?

I think some people aren’t telling the truth.
Honestly this thread is pretty pointless...we are relying on people telling the truth about following a guide that some/most people have bashed quite a bit before this thread was created. I believe most people wouldn't admit it if they actually did, but if you count the people in this thread that said no, it's under 1% of the people that participate in discussions.

There's no doubt I use the SMR, but I know where it stands when it comes to realized prices. It seems like most of the people here use the VCP for their reference, so why would they use SMR?

Make a poll about this question and then you will probably see a more realistic number.
