I'm scratching my head over this. This means your ratings, or at least your odd-numbered ratings, can't be counted in any aggregates. Why, Jon, why? Is rounding error so very important to you that not rating is better than boosting or bashing a favored or unfavored narrator?

It seems to me that not only will there always be some rounding, some just tend to rate higher or lower across the board; my three could be another's four, for example. (I state this because my three rating at Goodreads is pretty broad, but so be it.) I'll also state categorically that 1-10 starts to get absurd. It's far too granular for this kind of thing; it implies an accuracy that doesn't exist.
