I think you make a good point. But I don’t think it completely defeats the bias. Especially given that the star system that existed before the Web had 0 and half stars.
It seems like it’s purely a result of widget design deficiency: how do you turn a null into a 0 with a star widget? (You could add an extra button but naturally designers will poo poo that)
