I think ratings need to be normalized to personal beliefs and preferences of the viewer.

In other words - I can care less how Joe Blow rated the product - but it's important to me how likeminded people like me rated the product.

Also - Amazon is not making mistake in ratings.

Amazon is less interested in selling you relevant product for you.

Amazon is more interested to boost it's bottom line, move stalled inventory or move higher margin inventory.
