I think logistics is the biggest hurdle to most shootout style reviews. You
get one shot at having a bike for a couple of months and you have to make the
best of it. It seldom overlaps with having a fleet of other, comparable bikes
on hand. It's not impossible, but just really logistically difficult to pull
off.
And yes, some companies have much thinner skin than others. The best companies
respond with acknowledgement of the issue and perhaps even a change.
