This is interesting with the way things are rated in most popular culture. Consider these fake ratings of a game that gets rated like this: love: 30 people hate: 30 people average: 0 people Now if you average up the votes for that game, then it will come out with an average score. But is this really an average game? Even though half the people absolutely loved it... the other 30 people who hated it brought the average score down, so when rated it comes out as an average game. There exist some games where many people hate, but also some people absolutely love them. This is why many rating schemes are broken for various types of entertainment (music, film and games etc).
