You gotta understand how it works though - basically, it works by diluting a pepper seed concentrate as many times as necessary until every member of a panel of 5 testers can no longer taste a hint of spiciness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoville_scale https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoville_scale the problem is that we don't have a physiological basis for "spiciness" in order to create a more objective scale. Instead, we rely on subjective taste tests to get those numbers, and mitigate the subjectivity by having multiple taste testers. I'm actually thinking about applying a similar process to a few image analysis problems at work that are (currently) necessarily subjective, in order to produce better data for the eventual ML algorithms.
