I only have use for two kinds of product reviews/tests:
1. Let me see the machine, demonstrate the features and how to access them through the menus, and let me hear the machine in different settings on different hunting grounds.
2. Compare the machine's features as objectively as possible to other machines, preferably with direct comparisons over real world targets.
I have no patience when they review a machine, find a signal, and then directly state or even just imply that other machines couldn't have found the signal. "I've pounded pounded this spot to death!" is not evidence. I have no problem with somebody making it clear that a place has been heavily detected. That's good to know. But, we've all detected after ourselves with the SAME machine and found more. Let's not get carried away drawing unsubstantiated conclusions. The hobby is already full of anecdotal evidence and selective memory.
It's not like somebody snuck up on them and started filming. They planned the footage to post online. They at least hoped they would get some good signals. Yet, they didn't think to bring another machine, but want to draw comparison conclusions? Ridiculous.
Exactly you hit the nail on the head
