> The point isn't with the fact that there is an issue, its that Apple is seemingly trying to sweep it under the rug.
I don't think that's quite it. Apple realises there's a problem, and that's why they have the standardised test. I think the real problem here is that Apple's test is insufficient, but they don't know that, so they don't believe their customers when they say they're having still having issues. And that's not reassuring for someone who's just spent a lot of money on a new machine.
Personally, I've never had this issue with my rMBP, but I'm sympathetic with those that do.
Possibly, you are right that its in the fact that the test is insufficient. The question is if this is known by Apple or not.
I personally can't see how they could not know, this is not the kind of issue where ppl are going to be blowing there whistle for no reason. So Apple knows there is an issue, if there own tests do not match the numbers of complains(to some degree) even more red flags should be going up.
I am no conspiracy theorist, but there seems to be some valid points in the article.
