When you've stayed at one but not the other and say it's better?

I've stayed at both ... but I've also stayed at the Boardwalk which for me is the nicest of the three... in fact I'd grade them if looking at crescent Lake as a whole as
Boardwalk
Yacht
Beach/swalphin equal

Everyone's opinion is subjective and according to need. If travelling with toddlers or a wheelchair user ( or a Coulrophobia sufferer ... you thought Yacht was hard to spell !) my order would be different though !
To say one opinion carries more weight because a blogger wrote it doesn't make sense though.

All are lovely hotels though .

I believe only certain blocks permitted dogs so yes.

Your opinion is indeed fairly objective. I am not defending or promoting a blogger because they are a blogger. I am defending them because they have stayed on site many, many times and have no axe to grind. What is not helpful is someone who has been a couple of times, possibly stayed in one hotel, and then feels able to rate all hotels against this on the basis of having had breakfast there! Sorry if you disagree.

I disagree with your assumption that there are Dibbers that haven't stayed at all multiple times ... and having stayed for free at Disney myself for free as an incentive to send them guests in the distant past I never assume bloggers who often get the same perk are unbiased.
I find your assumptions "unhelpful"... there are plenty of posters who have stayed onsite multiple times for decades. Incidently local bloggers often get day access and room tours but don't actually get to stay overnight !

Whatever, you know best. Dibbers are of course free to draw whatever conclusions from whatever sources they wish. I think if you read what I said, you may find that I have made no assumption that there aren't a few Dibbers who have stayed at enough hotels over a short enough timespan to compare them. You may well be one of them. I would guess that my five on-site stays at WDW over 15 years is near average on this Forum, and I'd say that doesn't qualify me to make many useful comparisons.
