I haven't. The crux of your argument is that you don't like how he's looking about it from a perpective different than yours, and you feel that perspective is wrong.

Yes, he is looking it from what I think is a very a narrow minded perspective, the same as those that thought tablets were gonna fail because it didn't fair well when comparing some of its qualities with what we already have, the problem in both cases is similar, being unable to look beyond what you already know and valuing more what it hasn't/doesn't instead of what it has/does.

He has a narrow perspective, because when he used the unit, when he played games on it, when he tried it in different modes, and tested out this feature or that feature (all of which you have not done) he came to a different conclusion then the one you believe you will have when you use the unit, having absolutely zero hands on experience with it yourself. After using the Switch himself, he found in many ways, the home console experience the Switch offeres is not as good as the home console expereince he has come to expect, and in other ways, the portable console experience not as good as the portable console experience he has come to expect. He found it to be a compromise, and he did not like that compromise. He's critizing it for being worse, not for being different. Yet somehow, his unwillingness to accept this compromise, and his feelings that this leads to a poorer experienceis narrow minded? How exactly?
You remind me of all those Xbox fans who kept harping on "the power of the cloud" when they hadnt actually seen any tangible demonstration of that power that actually made any meaningful difference(and still haven't). All you have is hypotheticals. All you have is what you believe the Switch might be able to do some day. Unfortunately for you, this reviewer decided to stick to how the Switch performs in the present, not what it might be able to do in the future.
