We interviewed residents of Taipei and divided them into 4 groups: elementary students, junior and senior high school students, and adults. We send out 444 copies of this questionnaire to get 362 effectivesamples in return. In compiling statistics, we found TTR excelled HP in 21 items of 25, the average gap went to 128 people. HP excelled TTR in only 4 items of 25, and the average gap was 28 people. This outcome was steady in 4 groups thus was thrust-worthy. �@ �Ṳ́S���U15��~��H�Ψ�ث�����W�z25���ت��n���A��12�쥻��H�ӧP�_���@�ذ�X����������ï¿� ��Ӫ���r�o���C�o�{25�����A�q���u��~�y��16���A���~�t�Z35�H�C�Ӻ~�y�u��q�Ϊ�9���A�����t �Z14�H�C �@ We also recorded 15 foreigners�� pronunciation of the 25 items with the two type and made 12 natives to judge which type sounded closer to original pronunciation of Chinese character.

So then, why do we still support Pinyin? One basic reason: Consistency. China (with is size and clout) has Internationalized Pinyin, so that it is now used widely in the world press and in most world universities. As GOOD (or even bad) as Yale, Wade, Tongyong, or the Church system you mentioned may be, we simply don't want ANOTHER system out there. As stupid as Chongqing or Xi-an may look, my humble opinion is that we just have to get used to it.
