I think you're getting hung up on what is but a poor way to phrase an opinion.
Sure saying that some moves are "spammable" is not great in itself, but you can probably understand what he meant by that, and you can probably understand that at a casual level it could indeed very well be the case. Heck, we were speaking about noobs getting spammed by boulders without any idea on how to evade this earlier in the thread!
It does not mean that the game is badly balanced, just that it will probably discourage a handful of people who have no notion whatsoever of fighting games, and in his opinion this is a negative point.
I'm not saying I agree with him, just that I don't see the point in criticizing this particular point of his when he could very well be right for a good part of the people that will start playing this game.
It's really not nearly as bad as stating some false facts like "there is no zoning in Darkstalkers".
What would be cool, though, is if game reviewers started giving a little feedback on what kind of players they are and what kind of opinion they will therefore share in their reviews, instead of the "know all be all" kind of mentality a lot of them are currently showing.
In short, I don't agree when you say "if you don't know, just shut up", I'd rather say "if you don't know, give your opinion, but also tell your audience you're not a high authority in the matter, and are giving your opinion as a casual player of the genre". Because those opinions can also be useful to some.
