Some people test lenses and make charts. Other make photographs. Which would you rather be?
I do both, i like to know what i have in my hands and what it can do- how to use it.
At a moment of the photo i use that knowledge to get the best possible image...
for instance, ik know that the flare resistance of the Sigma Art 85 is better than the 85PCE nikkor ( contra to what i suspected)
so if i need flare resistance i know i have to use the Sigma...
