Right, CR is still worthless. Even a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while.
Think about it though, it's Consumer Reports, not expert reports. While I'm sure that they probably have some experts involved with the reviews, the general perspective is that of the consumer.
This is why seemingly apples-to-oranges comparisons among different cars, or computers, or whatever else, seem to be common. That is, even if the cars have different technical specifications, or the computers have different technical specifications... they are usually comparing within the same price range.
I am a consumer and I was never interviewed by the Consumer Reports :-) I wonder how do they collect the sample group and how big is the group.
I believe that the reliability data are based on responses to surveys of their subscribers.
