Now, because I am a Hero fan, because M&M 2nd still doesn’t have enough “crunch” details for me, and because I think the D20 bell curve has too much curve to it, I am NOT going to tell you that Mutants & Masterminds 2nd Edition is a better game than HERO System 5th Edition Revised. It is, however, almost as good, which for the casual gamer may be good enough. Put more precisely, M&M 2 is good enough that one’s preference for HERO over M&M or vice versa ultimately comes down to a matter of aesthetic preferences

Emphasis mine.

I took the above quoted statement as basically "M&M2 isn't as good as HERO, but you won't notice unless you're l33t".

And I don't think, as a reviewer, you should make those kind of decisions.

I'm not trying to blast you for this, it's just my opinion on the matter.

Emphasis again mine.

I'm not so sure that was going on, but it definately looked like a nod in that direction.
