I was talking from a users point of view, in that setting the lowest possible 
rating to 1/2 would be about as intuitive as saying "You can rate a track 
between 10 and 20". To most people, any scale of rating starts at 0, not 1/2 
or 10 or any other number.

has come into use through the necessity of having some way to distinguish 
between weather which will melt a brass door-knob and weather which will only 
make it mushy. -- Mark Twain
