[darkerside]

> few people feel strongly about it

It doesn't imply that at all

[3abiton → darkerside]

Averages? 50% with 70 (wild variance) vs 100% with small variance, both same mean

[slg → 3abiton]

Exactly. If all the reviews are between 51-100 and the mean is 70, there probably aren’t going to be a lot or 90+ ratings. But if half the reviews are below 50 and the mean is still 70, that implies a higher number of 90+ ratings to drag the mean up.
