David hit one of my biggest pet peeves. And it's this: Don't use 1-10
scales. They are biased. Go ask everyday people (ie, without any relevant
background) 'on a 1 to 10 scale, what is average?' And they'll say
'five.' Well, it makes sense, right? But it's wrong. Average is five
and a half. And this makes people give ratings that aren't really what
they are thinking.

I'm sorry if this is too mathematical for your taste. It's just that I
needed to say that. Please use 0 to 10 scales, those work nicely.
