Yeah, you don't do this with a car when you drive it off the lot, or a computer.
I give bikes a reasonably through once over for safety and can correct any major issues, but I'm not tearing review bikes down to the studs just to have a look and see how thoroughly they greased bolts. This wouldn't reflect the experience of the average customer, which, in theory, is sorta what we're trying to do here.
That said, most of my personal bikes \*do\* get torn down (or, more likely, they're built from the frame up to begin with.).
