There is absolutely no other business out there, where you can find so many idiots, be it reviewer, be it customer who sell / buy products they have no idea about.
Talking about reviewers is wasted time, because you and I (maybe some more) know very well how this business works. What amazes me much more is the amount of idiots who believe this written bullshit. Not much intelligence is needed to analyze these "reviews". Sometimes I think a piece of wood has more knowledge.
... just parroting the direct quotes from the reviewers’ talking points. So, in the way observing the reviewer’s stupidity one can perfectly predict the development of the industry tendencies for a next few years... 

Some time ago I was visiting a $600.000 System, the owner had about 20 cartridges, multiple Arms, Turntables,  Phonostages and was proud to present himself as a real - serious - Audiophile. I asked him to describe me the sonic differences between a Lyra Titan i and a Lyra Olympos, he owned both and both were mounted on his Turntables. He went to his library and pulled out the mags....I said, "no, please explain it in your own words, what records you use etc. Can you write me a few lines in the next days?"
I never got the answers. This idiot wasn't able to understand what he hears in his own System. He bought his units based on front pics of the mags and on prices (the higher, the more he was interested to buy). But when you tell such a time waster, what kind of self loving motherfucker he is, he will hate you for the rest of your life. And there are countless of them out there.
... she feel that I have unrealistically high expectations.... 

My impression is, you expect simple common sense and when you find out that you met the 9.563 moronic Audiophile (be it Manufacturer, Dealer, Reviewer, Customer or whatever) with a bubble in the area above his eyes, you simply call them what you think fits best.
