The truth is, there is no way I can blame critics for not being able to listen to a Hatto CD and say, "that's identical to Mr. X from 9 years ago, only 7 percent faster" (the Hatto CDs were speed manipulated). If they listened to many Hatto CDs, they should have been able to tell they used different pianos and recording venues, which is inconsistent with Hatto's story, but I can't blame them for not bothering to do that.
But accepting the ridiculous Hatto back story at face value was a pretty silly and ignorant thing to do. An old, frail, dying woman, or for that matter, a young, healthy man, is not going to be able to record the entire piano repertoire brilliantly in a handful of years. Or at least the critics should have been suspicious and looked more closely into the tales Hatto and her husband were telling.
