I don't have a subscription, but will still visit the library sometimes to skim the odd article. CR's problem is...what? They still tailor content to a magazine article size (online content is updated more, but not necessarily deeper), but the magazine today is miniscule due to printing costs? And they really don't have the resources for proper longevity testing?

I believe they still have a letters column, or failing that, an email address. Would highly suggested the OP contact them and complain how they missed the mark.
