Good challenge, AndrewF.

But your point about "less than 70" is the whole point: of what use  
is a scale of which 70% (or more, really) is unusable?

And people who trust to scales without knowing the *whole*  
description of a product are asking for disappointment.  At the very  
least a potential buyer should discover the basis for the score, what  
assumptions have been made etc ...

... and are you writing for the masses then, AndrewF, the great  
unwashed and perhaps rather feckless?  How are the mighty fallen!
