Why Ratings Systems Don't Work
Terrible article.  Calling histograms awful, based on nothing more than an opinion.Then trying to conclude that some convoluted scatter plot system makes more sense is laughable.Not to mention, this system is still just a star rating system.  This would be no different than having two histograms side by side.. assuming, of course, that you'd even want to rate different aspects of the same thing.I can't even imagine scatter plots on amazon, or trying to convince the general public that "it makes more sense"
