GOL has repeatedly shown their integrity by standing by their test results and by answering any and all questions about their testing methodologies. I don't think that there is much point in trying to discredit those who currently are trying to discredit either GOL or GOL's test results and testing methodologies. Doing so could imply that there might be a fire when in actuality there is neither smoke nor flame. GOL have so far proven that they do their tests simply out of passion for the hobby and that they always let the results for every product fall where they may versus competing products.
GOL has always made it very clear what products they are testing (prototype, store bought, provided by a distributor, or member owned) and, more importantly, GOL (unlike CP) doesn't write up fancy conclusions as to what products are "the best" in their opinion. The only thing which GOL could do in the future is to comment whenever a particular test scenario (due to time, weather, unexpected traffic or other factors) may not have been the most ideal test scenario as was originally anticipated. In other words, readers would know that those particular test results, while perhaps fairly accurate, should be taken with a grain of salt.
The point is that GOL has nothing to prove to anybody since they have already proven their integrity via a long track record.
