She is very much convinced if CR says so. CR staff are humans and they make mistakes just as we do. Furthermore they are not any less biased than we are, if not more. I alway like to poke fun with her an example of a phone we bought years ago based on CR's recommendation. Six months after we purchased the phone, the painted numbers on the keypad are all gone, making the phone useless. Could CR have tested the phone for six months? Of course not. Is JD Power any different? Probably worse.
