As the semi-official Johnny Aline Seed (I used to give them away after 
making a bulk purchase from Leon) I just have to chime in.
	I've tested them for accuracy against everything, and they win. Better 
than a Cheshire and about a tie with a laser -- except they don't have 
the "laser error" that can sneak in.
	I suspect folks just can't believe a $5 device can be as good as 
anything else commonly available at much greater cost, but: believe it, 
beaver.
