Can't disagree. Maybe I should put it this way: If they put out 110% for a critic, and 80% for everyone else, is a review based on that special treatment valid? In the real world, I try to deal by looking past the fluffing and focus more on things that can't be easily tweaked. Also, is my portion twice as big as those at nearby tables?)
