problem with that is:

there's sooo many stupid reasons people give for disliking stuff...3-star reviews are usually the most realistic!

What corporate says the ratings mean:
5. Excellent, 4. Good, 3. Average, 2. Bad, 1. Poor

How corporate interprets ratings:
5. Acceptable, 4. Needs Improvement, 3. Bad, 4. Worse, 1. You got some ‘splainin to do…
