Data data everywhere, but not a drop to drink
Anytime that a magazine provides quantitative data, they should identify the source of that data, i.e., whether it is the manufacturer's data, or data from some other independent source, in which case they should explain where they got the data, and how it was measured. When they mix together data from the manufacturer with data from other, unidentified sources, the effect is to turn the whole lot of it into a pile of meaningless digits.
