Is a certain salary web site inaccurate?

[Plasmech]

There is a certain SALARY wed site, yes in fact it is a DOT COM (I won't mention which exactly one it is) that I am suspecting of being inaccurate on the high side. Have any fellow engineers checked out this particular salary web site and noticed the same thing? I feel that it's maybe as much as 20% or more higher than reality. Please discuss!

I think there's so much ambiguity about location, local conditions, job description, etc, that you can pretty much pick any number and be completely justified.
