It's just abstract representations of a feeling. Personally, for me, it works on a tiering scale, so the ones that have provided the highest level of enjoyment get a 10, and we work our way down. But as I see new things, this rating ends up changing even though the anime didn't, so it has its problems. But I don't care-- other people would. What works for one doesn't work for other people. I've long been a proponent of changing the rating scale to letter grades so people would understand it better, but that's just too trivial of an issue, and any extra discussion deserves its own thread.
I don't particularly like numerical rating system, as it requires a little too much effort for my liking to differentiate between things like 'good' and 'great'. It follows that I only assess things on the simple pass/fail system (i.e. I liked it or I didn't like it).

If you can't appreciate and understand rants... well let's just say it's just like being unable to appreciate this movie.
I think I need to let cooler heads prevail and hang back for a bit. I admit that I prefer reviews over rants and raves
