I'd go farther with this thought experiment. As long as the reviews are done by consumers that are not trained or practiced at the art of reviewing, you will expect a lot of "worked for me" and "I paid enough that I am compelled to like this" style reviews. It is literally the idea behind luxury pricing. Turns out, objective reviewing of items is difficult. And will almost certainly lead to a gaming of the reviews if the companies are able to do so.
