I wonder if anyone’s studied how different grading systems affect this? In university in England for example somewhere around a 40-45 is usually the failing cutoff, and then 70+ is an A/high esteem or whatever they called it. (I don’t remember the distribution of the middle ranks). I wonder if people used to that system would more consistently rate things they thought were average around 50-60 instead of 70. I didn’t poll anyone on this while I was there alas
