Yeah - they tend to do that. For that, they are valuable.

But for the very most important stuff, like how it sounds, they are
useless.

For CD players, they will tell you they all sound alike. For coffee
makers, they will tell you they all make good coffee. Neither statement
is tue.

Read an article about a product which you are an expert on. Reel with
shock and dismay about the irrelevant criteria used by CR. Then query
why you ever trusted them on anything.
