How to write a thorough review of a Linux distribution

While I applaud your thoroughness, I doubt there's a human being alive who could write so skilfully as to make a review which covered every single one of your points interesting, right to the very last.
I believe it is widely accepted that few people spend more than a couple of minutes reading any given web page.
If reviewers were to slavishly follow your guide, it would take two or three days to read a review, never mind two or three minutes.
Also, I believe a review needs to entertain as well as inform, and it is hard to imagine a review which covered all those points being anything other than boring.
Still, interesting article that provides some food for thought.
Thanks.
