This is how I see it as well. It would also likely get rid of comments / ratings like "I would give this 0 stars if I could". I think the numbering you mention is just as essential (especially 0).

The way I generally rate things falls in line with this idea:

5: Excellent

4: Pretty Good

3: Average; Unsurprising. Not Impressed, Not Disappointed

2: Kinda Sucks

1: Run Away

This definitely doesn't seem to be how everyone else is using the 5-star scale.
