(...) So, do you feel that reviews are not influential? I disagree.

Actually, I was saying the opposite -- i.e. that reviews are influential. My "uncanny" referred to what some people seem to single out as significant (and share RMOSmile) -- which often seems incidental. A nice example being the reference to BMW's cad software...

They (reviews) are, if one knows what to pay attention, a wonderful tool to learn what does not deserved to be heard.
(my emphasis) IMO that's a very good point -- it's also a good excercise: in any review, separating the essential from the incidental.
