I'm glad I could help.
Yes, this is also my opinion: A tool is only as better as the person using it.
The results from these scanners should be reviewed by a knowledgeable human.
These tools are designed to help (not replace) a human.

It makes me smile when I read on some vendor website: Our tool
"Assures PCI Compliance including 6.6". An automated tool would never
do that.

anantasec,

I just did a quick read of your report. Thanks for making it
available. I think the main take away for me is that it reconfirms
that they are just tools and depending on the operator (experience)
mileage may vary.
