Let's face it, when people vote an episode 1 out of 10 they are insulting the episode. If you're going to insult an episode, you might as well have some style and flair to it like "That was torturous..." (imagine Simon Cowell saying that for full dramatic effect ).

But mainly, I think changing 10 from "perfect" to "near perfect" would much better reflect how often people here vote things 10 out of 10. I can believe the occasional anime episode actually being flawless... but it's not that common.

"10 out of 10" votes basically mean "It gave me maximum satisfaction!". That's not necessarily the same as "Perfect". But "Near perfect" is probably close enough to it.
