I say, "Good for you, Amazon, and thank you for keeping an eye out on these bottom-breeding 'pay-me-and-I'll favorably-review-your-product' scammers.

It's a complete illusion. They will guess wrong, they will stop some valid reviewers from bothering and they will not improve the reviews that are out there. I don't even have a problem with them spinning their wheels and giving people the illusion that they care--but I do have an issue with them trolling the web and mining private details (or trying to guess about details). It's not necessary--because it adds nothing.
