"Sullied" is way too strong a word. He measures diligently and fairly, and provides us with all the info we need to decide if something may pique our interest or not. The recommendation part is -as always- influenced by purely subjective factors - with a "form of the day" variable thrown in.

I never read too much into it, because when it comes to subjectivity I'd rather create my own - as we all do, I think.
