I was pretty clear in the article that the beep assumes focus.
Ive been getting a lot of "hate" emails and posts over it, but the take home message is this: That center focus square on the 6D is much better than the other cameras in low light.
For someone who has a camera and are happy with, true- this may be a meaningless test.
For a wedding photographer who shoots in low light, and is choosing between a 6D and D600, my little test might have more meaning.
Thanks!
I am fully with you when it comes to the importance & specially for a wedding photographer to be able to acheive focus in poor light conditions, incl the joy when you found a camera that performs. With the high ISO performance of last generation cameras the AF system is still the main performance bottleneck for many types of photography. And I think the large & sensitive & hopefully high performance 6D center AF sensor can be just fine, it is certainly better with one really good focus-point as compared to many if they are less reliable.
But you can not comment on AF system performance based only on when the beep comes ...

He ASSUMES the beep means its focused correctly, LOL.
Since you have all those cameras why not redo do it when you get time and check to make sure that it actually achieves good focus.
There is another thread hear were a guy reports how the 1DX and D4 compare under real real low light. But he confirms accurate focus in photos he actually uses. Unless you do something like that your test doesn't really give wedding photographers anything to think about. Who cares if it beeps if the photo is unusable from being out of focus. Beep doesn't mean it will be sharp or even usable.
