Sure, they totally did! (And because you didn't read it, you'll never know if I'm bullshitting you or not. Don't outsource your thinking.)

- euyyn 10y agoThat's like not reading reviews before going to a restaurant.
- athenot 10y agoAnd there are good reasons to not read them, either. I happen to like many ethnic foods and like exploring restaurants that I believe might be authentic. Those restaurants often have poor reviews because of customers who were there more for the dining experience than the food quality. Or they are expecting something that doesn't jive with the cuisine (eg. "that Filet Mignon was totally undercooked, and when they brought it back well done, it was so tough I couldn't eat it."). So in many cases, restaurant reviews are useless to me. Papers are similar in that I may be evaluating them under different criteria than those giving me the summary.
- euyyn 10y agoI mean, that's why you read them reviews, instead of just looking at the overall score. For the cases when the thing reviewed is actually shitty according to criteria you share, saving you the time and money.
