This is how I see it as well. It would also likely get rid of comments / ratings like "I would give this 0 stars if I could". I think the numbering you mention is just as essential (especially 0). The way I generally rate things falls in line with this idea: 5: Excellent 4: Pretty Good 3: Average; Unsurprising. Not Impressed, Not Disappointed 2: Kinda Sucks 1: Run Away This definitely doesn't seem to be how everyone else is using the 5-star scale.
