That is absolutely not my interpretation of such a scale. I would naturally map 5 stars to "exceeds expectations". If the best a product can do is meet expectations, how do you disambiguate from the truly excellent?
One of a multutude of issues with reviews is our differing interpretations of what a score represents
- wanderingstan 5y agoIn the early days of the “sharing economy” I gave a Taskrabbit cleaner 4 stars, thinking “they did a really good job!” But they called me nearly in tears asking what they had missed to get five stars.
