Uh oh...does that mean that anything I do won't count?  I'm only 
$40/hour, tho'.  ;)

If it's a demo image for the printer, chances are it'll show up the 
printer's strengths and hide its flaws.  Polaroid often distributed 
pretty, colourful still-life images shot on their products, in which 
there would be no red objects...because their colour instant materials 
didn't really have a good red.

Anyways, I'm sending (hopefully on Monday), a few different images, a 
couple of which show the weaknesses of the Stylus 7500, cuz I wanna see 
what you pick up on.

I vote mostly yes, that they should factor in the rating, with the 
no-apples-in-the-fruit-basket kept in mind.
