I guess my point was going to be that if he's seen a great number of other contenders as well as the original versions of the films, if he's aware of all the changes and still considers this to be the boxset of the year, then I will value that opinion more even if I disagree with it
Why should I care if you value my opinion? Who are you to judge?
I'm just some guy, but presumably if you are posting your opinion on a public forum it is because you hope others will value it.

Out of curiosity, what are all the sets that you viewed this year so that they could be in contention? Or if you're only talking about Criterions, how many of their ~50 releases this year did you watch?
Well, I did a quick check of my movie database… I logged watched 230 films last year - which doesn’t included streaming or in-theater viewing. So I could I suppose paste a list of titles…
But what would be the point? So you can sneer at particular titles? The question seems like an interrogation - why not post your own pick for best set?
I guess by the same token, what's the point of you declaring it the best set of the year? I don't even know what that means because I don't know what sets you're comparing against. Is it better than all of these, or are there some that you haven't seen?
