This person will often exagerate the problem, maybe even lie about his experiences even though some or even all of the problem was his own fault due to improper instalation or use of the product.

Some businesses will do the same to bad mouth their competitors.

You better learn to take what you read on the Internet with a grain of salt (or two).
You are exactly correct. Its amazing how a brand can get a "bad reputation" on the internet when statistically speaking their "problem rate" is the same or even lower than the competition. They just happen to be the dominant market force so they have higher installed numbers.
