Oh, of course they meant it to sound positive. What I'm saying is that if pressed, someone could try to parse words and say that "rave" doesn't have to mean positive, so they weren't lying when they said that. (Regardless of the spin they knew the word would have.)

Either that, or if, say, there were two very positive reviews, legally they can say "rave reviews" lol. (If there were only one, they might have said, "opened to a rave review...")

You know - it's like the classic infomercial "if you order now" statement. What they don't say is that you can order anytime and still get the supposed deal...but they're sneakily trying to imply "[only] if you order now" even though that's not true.

It's all spin.
