I guess I'm on the side of CR on this.. I don't think they made up the results, and I believe that their testing is valid to identify RELATIVE performance. With this said, do I think that all of these helmets pass CPSC? Sure. In theory all of the helmets tested by VA Tech all did to, but there's nothing wrong with ranking and highlighting, as this article says.. "that there are better choices"
