Question for you and xor1. Are you talking about going from a 1 to a 5, from a 5 to an 8 or from an 8 to a 10?

My intuition is that at the deformed end of the spectrum, any improvement is going to be 99% positive and that it starts to become more of a mixed blessing as you approach perfection.

I don't like using a 10-point system because it's so ambiguous, but I guess I'm talking about going from 5-8 to 8-10. The way I mentally do rankings is Ugly - Acceptable - Exceptional, so going from Acceptable to Exceptional.

(For the record, I try very, very hard to treat everyone equally, since the influence that attractiveness has on human behavior is something that I'm aware of and think about constantly. Hence this discussion.)
