The conversation was about outliers and metacritic scores. Don't try to deflect now (like you have done countless times in this thread.) You made a point about consistency and I countered it with an example. Address that rather than deflecting to a different discussion entirely. 

Jim is being consistent, just not in a way you like. He is consistently giving his personal opinion and rating. You know it is possible that Jim genuinely does like Hyrule Warriors on the 3DS more than he does Breath of the Wild, right. I know you personally can't imagine it because that isn't your perference, but again, it appears you have trouble learing that your opinions are subjective, and your opinion isn't inherently better than anyone else's.

I wasn't talking about Jim. You were questioning the consistency of Nintendo fans. The question was: would they have applied the same metric of being against outliers if the tables were turned: a 70% game were given a 95%? And I provided a scenario where they had been. That was the topic at hand. 

Again stop with your dishonest argumentative tactics of moving the conversation to something it was not about. The bolded is just desparately dishonest. Nobody seriously believes that opinions are objective facts, but neither is it true that opinions are entirely equally made and distanced from the facts and premises made to form them. Very few people, today, consider somebody who has the opinion "All jews should die" justified in their belief, for example.  Opinions aren't all equally justified, even if they are subjective. The totally relativistic view of opinions is ridiculous.
