Re:How Not to Sort by Average Rating (2009) by zolloie on Thursday August 31, 2017 @10:02AM (#15140335)
The flaw with that line of criticism is that it makes assumptions about the meaning of the ratings. Note, too, that Arrow's impossibility theorem applies to ranking but not ratings. That also applies to a very simplified, idealized case which can be superceded by more sophisticated voting/rating systems.
