Second, I understood the whole point of a scale, whether 1-100 or the archaic 20-80, to be that all data points would fall somewhere on that scale, distributed (grrrr) according to some formula. So, of course I turn off ratings over 100; but then it bugs me that they are still out there, and some of the guys rated 100 are actually better than others, and wouldn't I want to know that? Math guys, explain please!
