Yeah ... it's like reading the NY Times, watching CNN or even getting your news from "highly reputable" resources like NPR or the BBC... all are far from ideal. Knowing how and when to trust these sources takes care, awareness and experience .

Also, be aware that most customers DON'T write reviews.
