I would agree that it's right to call out a problem when it's discovered - there are too many reviews that beat around the bush somewhat. But care should be taken not to generalise or stereotype about an entire company's output, without using your own judgment. Use the facts and figures, measurements and charts wisely, but be led by what you hear and judge for yourself.
A very good point.
