Why not just a five-star rating?

The customer feedback you see on e-commerce sites has permanently changed the way the modern world shops for goods and services.

News is not that simple. Seeing that a coffee mug shows up smashed in shipping 60% of the time is easy to make a buying decision. But information is far more complex than a coffee mug.

Is something overly conservative, totally opinion based, factually incorrect, or excessively sesquipedalian? Score them ALL!
