Re: Re: Re: Re: Honest, hardcore reviewers
Not being a statistician, I can't speak directly on this issue, but I know there is in fact a phenomenon that statistics takes into account when "grading" numerical "rate this from 1 - 5" type surveys. It is just human nature. A certain percentage of people will never rate something as perfect, just like a certain number of people will never rate something as worthless. While I agree that it is odd, I just accept it for human nature and don't put much thought into it. Maybe because I'm a bit of a perfectionist myself and nothing I ever do will be "perfect" - but I do know when to leave "well enough" alone. *Smile*
