we never complained about giant bomb because it was well within the average. I posted the other day that the average review was 89 with a 8 point or so standard deviation. all normal scores would have fallen within 81-97. 100 was just slightly out of the first deviation, just like all the 80's scores. 70 and 60 and way way beyond normal distribution and explains that there is something else affecting the score. ie: The average for some sites is 50, not the standard 70.
This is not the cause of why we are complaining, but it illustrates why we have a problem with it from a scientific standpoint.
