yes "real ticks" is the best way to backtest an EA because it holds the real spreads of the broker in real time

Some said every tick based on real ticks is the most accurate data collection rather than every tick.
By that, I tested some EA that I purchased before, and some stated they will have massive profit, however their report was based on every tick only.
After that, I used every tick based on real ticks to run the back-test. The result was not the thing I expected.
So, can we conclude that, using Every tick in their report was meaningless, as they cannot show the actual performance?
I am still a beginner of EA, so please tell me if I ask something dumb.
