Has anyone ever tried

1. normalize reviews to make a 4 star from someone who always gives 5 stars worth less than a 3 star from someone who always gives 2 stars; and

2. make reviews secret?

I've wondered this myself. Someone with a dozen 5-star reviews is essentially providing no information and should be removed from the equation.
