Blender Benchmark and Open Data website - feedback

Hi.
I was wondering about barbershop_interior scene. By default scene (CUDA/OpenCL) uses Branched Path Tracing. OptiX does not support BPT. So is the benchmark using a modified scene using Path Tracing to make more reliable results when comparing OptiX vs other device types?

For reliable benchmark results, one would like the scenes to be configured with similar supported features by all device types. Otherwise, side-by-side comparisons are meaningless.

EDIT:
In short, I think barbershop_interior scene should be modified to use PT and delete old render times results, or remove OptiX results for that scene. This makes the benchmark less reliable and can give some confusion:
