How do you compare a tool designed to let you get a Fedora system
booting again from problems like the MBR being overwritten or a bad
fstab entry with a tool "dedicated strictly for incident response
and forensics."  They are tools designed to do different jobs.

Or to put it in terms an EE would understand, it is like comparing a
screwdriver with a butter knife. Do you compare how well each drives
a screw, spreads butter on bred, or pries open a stuck window?
