A review of those comparison test makes it appear Amsoil compared one of their products to full-synthetics, synthetic blends, and regular dinosaur oil.
On the four-ball wear test, Motorcraft (I assume syn-blend) does exactly as well as Amsoil (and M-1 Extended performance almost the same) but I can get Motorcraft for $11.50 in a 5-qt bottle versus $10.50/qt for the Amsoil and around $22 for a 5-qt bottle of the Mobil 1.
I would hope, then, the other tests shown in which Amsoil does much better than the other products are more important that wear protection but I really can't see the rationale for using Amsoil unless you extend your oil change intervals to 25K miles.
