Stating experiences, like "I used product A and it crapped out, switched to product B and things work great" accurately describe the situation.

Stating that "Product A's company sucks, stay away, I had one and it crapped out" and "product B's company is great, I got one and it works like it's supposed to", well, is that really the situation? Or is the situation possibly that simply you got a dud, switched brands and got a good part?
This is called anecdotal evidence. It's one person's experience, not really a big deal.

It's no brainer that the ACT PP clamp loads will cause issues though, And is the main reason i dislike them.

It's just not the first time i've seen issues with ACT clutches before. They rarely get the clutch geometry correct, which is probably why the OP was having issues.
