You have no support for anything you have said. There are many variables which have an effect on what happens to you when the ball hits your face. What was the trajectory of the pitch? What was the speed? What part of the mask did it hit you in? Where you moving when it hit you? What stance were you using?
In order to say that one is safer than the other an experiment must be done controlling all the variables and only changing the mask.
PBUC says that after all their research they don't know which is safer. What makes you think you know more than them just because you've gotten hit hard 5 times wearing different kinds of masks?

"Nonsensical" ... "prove."
It truly is hard to know when some of you guys are kidding. The Wilson HSM absorbs more shock than any one of five different standard masks, according to ...me, a guy who did a lot of catching and a lot more umpiring and I have taken every kind of shot at every kind of speed off every kind of material, and the Wilson blow is significantly softer than any of the others. It's an opinion, OK? And I prefer a mask, OK?
... Can you prove it?
