Rtings good at measures, but bad at conclusions. Take their numbers and make your own opinion. Prad.de is better at that respect.

They do a good job of supporting whatever comparisons you want to make, which is useful if you have different preferences; however, I do think they have clear conclusions in many cases, to capture strengths, weaknesses, and "best of" recommendations.
Their, rtings.com "conclusions", "scores" and "recommendations" do not always correspond to their own numbers.
Exactly. Their ten-point scales have no obvious relationship to the underlying measurements, where measurements are even provided, and they rescale the points every so often. (They call this their "methodology version.")
I've noticed that, when a new (expensive, high-commission-generating) product comes out, it often has middling scores at first, and then, a few months later, they've revised their methodology to show how much better the pricey new product is.
