i disagree. i prefer a have a good/difficult/decisive bench mark test. 
not one that can be reasonably implemented in many languages.

i want to separate the wheat from the chaff. find the gold nuggets in 
the silt at the bottom of the river. try them until destruction :-)

if they are weak, let them suffer. they are only computer languages, not 
living creatures.

imho it goes against the idea of bench marking to dumb down the tests 
until as many as possible can get a good score.
