> McDonalds cooks great burgers when measured objectively

Wait, what? In what world are McDonalds burgers "great"? They're cheap. Maybe even a good value. But that's not the same as great.

They are consistent and decent, though arguably some are even good (though everyone usually has a preferred fast food destination).

Some of the best burgers I've ever had came from fast food.

McD's burgers are like having Budweiser/Bud Light beer (or Starbucks coffee if you don't drink alcohol). The product is just okay --- sometimes even good --- but it's unbelievably consistent. A Bud Light/Starbucks iced latte in the mountains will taste exactly the same as a Bud Light/Starbucks iced latte on the beach.

I love burgers and have had many all over the US; I wouldn't turn down a McD's burger.

Fair enough, I should've said borderline decent.

Probably more of the measure of the Deluxe burger, which if fresh doesn't seem to have any faults for a burger. Now the little McFrankinstines leave much to be desired.
