      <![CDATA[Roop - Your assumption in asking me that question is that the average consumer is so clueless that he/she would need to READ a review for a $1 double cheeseburger before purchasing one (i.e. not a realistic assumption). Seems to me that your example defies the notion that a journalist has an obligation to write about newsworthy, interesting stuff.

      <![CDATA[Equivocator, what I mean by context is that a reviewer isn't going to judge a fine-dining establishment in the same way he or she will review, say, a down-home barbecue place. The reviewer considers what the place strives to be, and whether it's the best in that context.

I think you mean "temerity," "audacity," or "gumption."<br><br>Just a thought -)  But I digress...
