Never in the history of Dolby Stereo was the sound played back on just a left and right speaker. Ever.

again, not saying you're wrong. I was stating that's how many of us were taught back in the very early 90s, so it explains why a lot of the reviewers (who are in their late 40s to 50s) think the way they do
(I can confirm that I'm not the only one who was taught this method for stereo tracks, as I talk with a lot of online reviewers behind the scenes)
I'm never against learning something I was taught wrong back in my youth, am happy to correct wrong opinions if I can
