Its Just

“If someone who have read hundreds of books gives an average rating of below 3, they probably want to signal that they have a high standard, that only the best books they read will be honored with four or five stars.

But it might as well indicate that they not only do not know how to find books in their own taste, but are actually drawn to reading books that are not really good according to them.

If someone repeatedly read books they do not like are they masochists or do they really like reading books?

If you randomly pick hundreds of books, you would give an average score of over 3 or higher.
If publishers had done their work.

Given a normal distribution of a score of 1 to 5 3 will be at the center of the bell curve.

But maybe even higher since you would expect publishers to weed out books they would consider a 1 and publish books they consider a 3 or more.

For example the drivers in a taxi service receive on average a score of 5. Drivers who have a score lower than 4.5 will be weeded out.

So someone who spends hundreds of hours reading books but gives them an average score of below 3.

Should statistically speaking be good at picking bad books. Or bad at picking good books or don't enjoy reading books.

Than one might than wonder, if they don't enjoy reading books on average, than why are they reading?”
