So you can review a product thats available on Amazon without actually having purchased it? Surely thats a flaw?

This was a design decision made long ago at Amazon. The reasoning is quite simple: If you buy a product somewhere else, or want to write a review based on the description, you should be able to share the information you want.

Not to mention you get some pretty funny fake reviews on products like the three wolf moon shirt.

They have "Verified Purchaser" badges to help you interpret a review.
