Product reviews are in no way, shape or form indicative of a product's reliability or quality of production. To use them as some sort of empirical proof of a product's qualities is setting yourself up for disappointment.
Many blogs and user review sites had mentioned the potential and real problems with bootcamp. Mr. Fanelli brought up a very good point about it being beta software. Even if it wasn't beta, ANYTHING that messes with your boot sector (exactly what bootcamp does) has the potential of making the drives unreadable. That doesn't change the fact that it's a good product, nor does it invalidate product reviews, but a reviewer can not test every machine on the market. Stuff will hit the fan. Any time something that fundamentally changes your system is installed a full backup should be done, especially if the software is beta. It's a basic necessity that a lot of people forget.
