Because CR makes a "big deal" out of how independent and impartial they are.
The results of their "impartial" testing are the only product they have to sell
... if it turns out their testing isn't impartial then why would anyone want to
buy their magazine ? Worse yet it's false advertising and borders on fraud.

Which at least has the advantage of being true (presumably). To me, at least,
that's a lot different than falsifying test results. Or lying about taking
money from outside interests.
