No, a reviewer's review is not always their opinion on a particular item. A Radeon HD 5870 being more energy-efficient than a GeForce GTX 480 is not in Wizzard's opinion, it is for fact, W1zzard is establishing that fact scientifically for you.
Likewise, a reviewer can actually fill up his Survivor case with hardware (or rocks) and load test how the handle holds up, he can then establish for fact that a handle is flimsy or not.
Those are facts I can get from the specs sheet. Yes, running tests on items yields empirical data, but that is not fact. Empirical data is only considered fact when the test are constant and reproducible according to science. And while I trust W1zz to be fair and honest, that is not always the case. Regardless, the final verdict page with grades and if the review would recommend it or not is an opinion on all reviews.
And if you go back and read what I wrote, I didn't say anything about load issues. I was concerned about torque issues if you were to accidentally twist it side to side suddenly due to a stumble; and it blocking 33% of the vent in the top of the case. Especially when that is the only shown vent.
This is getting stupid and I am done.
