In this paper, we examine the worthiness of the approach consisting of concentration on a particular set of bench mark problems, an issue raised by a recent paper by Ian Gent. We find that such a methodology can easily lead to publications of limited gen eral use: as far as our ability to solve practical problems is concern ed.
