I gathered the average rating across all episodes by writers contributing more than ten episodes.
why 10? why not 12 or 8 or 5 ... ?

Our number system is base 10. The choice was arbitrary, I just wanted enough episodes to reduce the noise in the average ratings.

thanks for your reply! When I learned that Conan O'Brien had only 4 writing credits, I wondered if perhaps 3 would be an appropriate threshold. More generally, I was wondering how the results vary with different choices for this threshold.
