Well Frank, your total non intention of buying this kit is totally understandable, but, to be quite honest, most of us couldn't care less. I wouldn't buy it either, mostly because I already have a few of the original issue, the one with the vinyl tracks that behaved as if they had been reinforced with a thin strip of spring steel but I digress.
A review, any review of any subject (restaurants, movies, travelling destinations, countries, whatever) hopefully gives the reader/viewer/consumer enough information to make an informed decision about whether to buy or not to buy the reviewed object.
Some of the readers of this particular review may not have had any experience of the original kit and might think that it is a new kit, up to todays standards. Those readers will now have been informed about what is really hiding inside that box. This might be crucial information for someone looking for an out of the box model of this specific version of M4A1. The M4A1 by Tasca/Asuka has a different hull (slope of glacis) and Drogon nr 6083 might be hard to find (one on Amazon for US $59:99 + shipping ...). A modeller who wants a model of this variant of Sherman might be tempted to get this Italeri kit since it is cheaper than the (OOP???) Dragon kit. Those who read this review have now been informed.
One important point to remember is that not all reviews are shameless marketing blurbs
