Agree this is too much apples and oranges, but if you read CR occasionally you know that the writers generally don't know much about the products they attempt to rate.

I like the stout/lager comparison for different grades. If you're buying beer, would you get the stuff rated highly by a Cicerone or BJCP judge, or a random Wal Mart customer's favorite? CR skews toward the Wal Mart demographic.
