I'm not sure picking people who really liked a title that a majority found to be average is the strongest defence to the premise that any outlier opinions on a title are inherently suspect

Just to be clear, I was situating those thoughts in relation to the premises contained in the posts below. Not in relation to Phil Spencer's claims (which were obviously quite silly).
I have seen a smartphone review where it was trashed by the reviewer.
The reviewer mentioned something that would be important to the minority. And treated it as if the general public would care. And AFAIK it's the first and probably only time it was bought up in reviews.
The issue? Rooting and custom Roms on an Android phone.
Just about every other review gave it high marks except that one.
Clearly it was reviewed that way for a reason. Yes it exists. But you gotta be be bigger than that Phil.
