A certain amount of subjectivity is to be expected in a review, otherwise 
it would be terribly boring for the reviewer.  However, we really do need
some metrics to judge new products by.  I have one particular product that
I'm thinking of that I bought based on a couple of 'rave' reviews, yet it
doesn't do what I expected.  However, I won't bad-mouth the product because
I now realize that I was led to expect something else by overly zealous 
(and quite likely inexperienced) reviewers.  Though the product in mind 
is probably outstanding for its intended market, it doesn't meet my
expectations at all.
