Not really a surprise, because humans are inconsistent & we are easily influenced (see: advertising). All of which makes a mockery of the 100 point scoring system.
I tend to treat wine ratings by wine judges like movie ratings by critics: it helps to know who did the rating & whether your tastes are similar or polar opposites to theirs.
Absolutely. I actually prefer reviews which are as score-free as possible, and are more descriptions of what the thing does/is, so that I can decide myself whether I'd like that. Reviews which are based on absolute good/bad axes frustrate me.
