Fair enough, I guess your point is a bit different from the website you quoted, which incorrectly stated that higher ATTS scores mean less agression and more friendliness.
I tend to agree that any dog can be a good dog or a bad dog, and so much of it lies in the responsibility of the owner (and, to a lesser extent, the breeder). That said, I think the danger with bull terriers is that a bad bull terrier is going to be a lot more dangerous than a bad chihuahua, or even a bad retriever.
