Seems like a lot of engineers on here...wonder if that says something about either engineers or photographers (or both)...

I read the same article Brant referenced from photographylife. That seems to make some sense to me, but I'm left with the question as to how some cameras and/or manufacturers can have such a low (practically zero) back end read noise while other cameras/manufacturers seem to have issues here. Surely it can't be that simple or beneficial or this would be something they would all be doing (or strongly trying to do).
