I can only assume Google doesn't want their reviews brigaded by publicity incidents like this. While I don't think Google always knows best, it does bring up the question of if you were building a review site (i.e yelp or otherwise) if you would permit such brigading. Personally, I think it would be difficult to tell between spam and brigading, so it's best to take this approach.
