"Do you have any data to back up the claim that most of the recent reviews are bogus?"

Yes, after buying numerous products with great ratings and discovering that the people who rated the product negatively were often right about their complains.

From what I have seen people don't put to much effort to praise products, however they take the time to complain when they feel unsatisfied or burnt by a product.

I'm not trying to convince you or anyone but this methods has worked rather well for me.
