    The testing difference is the part nobody explains well

    I want to be careful here because this is the sort of topic where people overstate things fast, and I am not going to make a claim about safety that I cannot back up. But the piece I never see explained clearly is what testing actually involves and what it does and does not cover. Most of what I read is either an advert leaning on the word tested without saying anything, or a scare story with no documentation attached. Neither of those helps someone trying to make an ordinary decision, and both are apparently very effective, which is the frustrating part. So my question is whether there is a plain, boring, official explanation of what is required to be tested and what the results mean. Not marketing, not somebody assurance in a comment. I would rather read the dull version and understand it properly.

    Honest question: what would actually make you switch to a licensed shop

    I mean this as a real question rather than a scolding. I hear a lot about how people should use the legal ones, and much less about what would actually change somebody habits. So I am asking the people who mostly do not: what is it? My guesses in order are price, distance, and habit, probably in that order, and maybe the fact that the place you have been going to for years already knows you. Whether those are the real reasons is not for me to say, which is why I am asking rather than telling. No lectures in the replies please, from either side. I am trying to understand it, not settle it.
