[Introspective] Re: The "Definitive Ratings"

<<I completely agree that everyone's opinion counts.  When you add these 
opinions up, interesting things begin to surface, such as a defined 
"standard" of PSB track quality.>>

And this emergant "standard" is?   With so few people voting in the survey 
(not to mention that the surveys, themselves, do not necessarilly bear any 
direct relation to the actual "quality" of any PSB track), the results are nothing 
more than a sample of a plurality opinion -- not at all a majority.  Just look 
at many of the PSB tracks that scored lower than "Home and dry" and you'll 
see that this survey is not about "quality," as such.   It really looks like 
people voted on these tracks in comparison ONLY to the other tracks in the same 
week's survey. Once you apply the results of one week's survey to another, 
those results loses much of their intended meaning. How anyone can then make such 
a giant leap to saying that these combined results produce anything like a 
"standard" of PSB song "quality" is quite amusing. How easily people mix apples 
to oranges!
