Ah... Sar, I see what you mean now. Even so, to some extent that reviewer is still "right." Saying that they have a bias doesn't "let them off the hook," unless the people reading don't realize this.

Reviewers are just people. If the reader forgets this, they are at more fault than the reviewer. In fact, I'm pretty sure most review sites have a little blurb about how all reviews are merely someone's opinion and may not follow your own preferences or beliefs. It's impossible for someone to not have bias, and if that statement "let's them off the hook" then we are a very forgetful society, and need to reevaluate the amount of thought we put into the reviews we read.

So basically, I just looped back to the beginning of this topic. Sweet.
