Are you afraid of decimals, or something?
Everything should be rated on a scale of 0 to 1, and you can use as many decimal places as you want. >

Ok, I get your point, but there are a lot of big critics that have a set "out of X" rating system. Changing that daily/weekly would definitly confuse their readers.
(In case you soley speak of private conversations, I agree with you) >

Totally, for fixed rating systems where you're comparing lots of different things on the same scale, you should absolutely be using the same base denominator. However, if your system requires that level of specificity, the whole thing should use the larger denominator.
In your hypothetical, I agree that the critic should use the same base scale for all reviews, but if you want the nuance to differentiate a 7.0/10 and a 7.1/10, you should just use an X/100 scale for everything. >

But 6.8/10 is the same difference as 68/100, what's ur problem man? I like the integers and decimals. All numbers can get along in harmony. I rate stuff like 8/10 and potato/10. Yes, words work in harmony too!
