In the 1950s it was general consensus that white men and black women shouldn't marry each other. If you thought otherwise your opinion was definetly questionable.

Just a practical example of how general conensus is subjected to bias as well of personal opinions. Should we really give all this credit to it?

When the majority of the scores result in an "80", then a 40 questionable. That's the point.

I'm sorry, but you don't see any problem with that?

Since 80 does not represent a measurament but an opinion expressed in numbers, that kind of scheme suggests that everyone should have a similar opinion on a certain subject and if they don't they shouldn't be taken seriosly.
