I'm keen to know what other members think and mainly what rscasny thinks about this!
I've seen many road tests where if a member has commented on the roadtest page, there is a high chance of seeing that member's name in the selected road testers list. Does this imply selection based on interest shown through comments? Or is it a weird coincidence?
I've also personally experimented with this. I applied for two Cool Tools Road Test. In one product, I was interested really and I commented on that road test page. Whereas in the other I didn't. I was selected to road test the one for which I had commented. Though I agree that my application for the one which I was not selected might not have been good enough when compared with the one in which I was selected, but this concludes the proof of the weird coincidence once again.
You can also check for yourselves by randomly checking roadtest pages, its comment section and the road testers list. But I am not sure about the tough ones (like Oscilloscope). Let me know your findings or thought in comments below.
