Make the best of bad reviews by leveraging consumer empathy

This is actually just listening to your customers, and caring about them enough to respond to them thoughtfully. If you get a bad review, you still respond thoughtfully.
Why do we have to make it into some buzzword salad term for some “strategy” powered by pseudo-academic research nonsense? Anyone that has actually ran a business could verify it.
Presumably because there are some people who are driven to action only by buzzwords, not common sense; so this is a way for the common sense-driven to convince the buzzword-driven of the wisdom of the common sense course of action.
I think the takeaway is to make your critics look like hyperbolic dimwits by being nice and using real names. It not obvious this is the best rebuttal strategy. I see companies often get hyper factual and cold with responses to negative reviews. When responding to a negative review, you are writing not to that person, but rather to the audience that reads reviews.
No. We don't live in a moral world, though.
That is, when I see in the review that unreasonable expectations of some guy were not met, I kinda assume that reasonable expectations were actually met, and that busyness / service is worth checking.
It's impossible for my instincts not to kick in and push me into rooting for the 'little guy' or someone who's been unfairly wronged. (Whether they were wronged fairly or unfairly is a matter my instincts leave for later.)
