  Makes me think of the intellectual elbow grease that it takes to interpret ratings of photography equipment. There is always the guy who tells us this inkjet printer is a piece of crap and he shows pictures he took of the prints he made that look just like the prints I make when I put the photo paper in upside down. Some fraction of the bad reviews come from people who are getting bad results who don't know what they're doing, but there are some lenses like Sigma lenses for Canon bodies circa 2010 that seem to be bad 10% of the time and you want to catch that. (Reminds me that Sigma makes some really good lenses for Sony bodies these days and I could use something to replace my long lens)
