Please explain how, as a journalist, you use this "device" of hyperbole.
Please explain how a reader is to distinguish your hyperbole from other
statements you expect us to accept as factual.

Did you employ this hyperbolic "device" when you worked as an equipment
reviewer?

I hope he did. Hyperbole is a pretty common device in critical review
of any and all things subjective. It's on the readers to understand
this commonly used device. If one wishes to be boring as a reviewer
hyperbole should be avoided at all costs.
