MODERATORS
75% is a C which is average for school grades, and a 7/10 is widely considered an average score for things like movies. 70-75F being the average room temp is pretty intuitive when used alongside other common scales.
Wow, that is some Olympic level mental gymnastics you've got there...bravo.
How? The average American already has 70 as a reference point for average. What part do you disagree with?
Well, if the average American views 7/10 as the average on a 1-10 scale, it really just proves that their view is skewed, objectively incorrect, and cannot be used as a useful measure in this. Being wrong in multiple (and completely unrelated) instances does not make any of them correct.
I mean I never said it wasn't stupid, just that it's intuitive for Americans. 5/10 should be average.
But I'm not even sure that's purely an American thing. Go to a rating website like IMDB or MyAnimeList, 7/10 is considered average. I'm genuinely surprised that you're surprised by this.
