Thank you,
"And why is the only honest evaluation of my bike in the review of the subsequent redesign?"
I read this comment (or something in this vein) fairly frequently but I don't see it myself. I mean, sometimes you have to ride a pair of shoes for 9-months before the soles de-lam which may require updating a review to reflect a long-term durability issue but if the shoes were fantastic to ride in they're still fantastic aside from an issue that came up.
Sometimes I'll read two reviews by different writers (sometimes some distance in time apart) that are contradictory but that can come down to personal experience. I've been on both sides of reviewing a product that was either amazing for me or the opposite and then I'll read someone else's review where they had the opposite experience and it's always surprising. But that could come down to a personal preference, where the product is being used, and etc.
For example, my experience with the new Kona Satori was much less positive than anything else I read about the bike but I can easily chalk that up to different riders and/or different locales.
...
Do you really find that you're reading positive reviews about something one day and then a year later a review by the same author that sh*ts on the product?
