Nice blog post. I took your advice and read the "As We See It" editorial in the February 2015 issue of Stereophile, which I agree, is a worthwhile piece. However speaking of "the benefits of being an 'insider'" it was your warning about "Synergistic Research bull droppings" that not only showed how silly audio reviewers can get at times but how unaware of their actual insider status most audio reviewers are, as evidenced by this little quote from Fremer's article: "...I wanted to hear some of this stuff in my own space. A few months ago, Denny and Scott Walker arrived with some products that fall under the umbrella of Synergistic's uniform Energy Field (UEF) Technology." With "Denny" being Synergistic's owner Ted Denney and Scott Walker being the owner of Scott Walker Audio.
