Then how do you ever find out about books? There are millions of books out there, you have to filter the list somehow. I only want to commit to reading something if I think I might like it, which means I need to know what others thought about it; whether it sounds like my kind of thing.
The value I place on any given data point might be vanishingly small - I am quite aware that the marketing team are trying to put the best light on it - but it will rarely get right down to zero.
