John is probably different. He probably knows a lot about how things are made. So this comment doesn't apply to his review.
But most reviewers don't understand, even functionally, how things work. When they do write about design they usually parrot the manufacturer without insight on whether the design really works that way or not. My two pet peeves are when reviewers call a planar driver a ribbon driver; they're not the same thing. And, of course, if the box isn't ported it's acoustic suspension which it may or may not be; all closed boxes are not acoustic suspension.
Even good manufacturers can get it wrong. I know a ported speaker that is designed to also plug the port and the designer calls it a coustic suspension. It can't be. A driver that works in a reflex box is too stiffly suspended to work as acoustic suspension.
