All I can say is wow. They couldn't be more wrong. Springs and bumps produce a force relative to position. A shock produces forces relative to velocity. The wheel moves at many different velocities on the track. The only way to have the correct picture is to take static measurements with a smasher and pair that with shock dyno data.
All you are doing with an auto run is muddying your measurements by adding in shock force relative to the shaft velocity at the point you record the data. That's absolutely terrible measurements practice.
