Smaller publishers with less known titles may be rated highly, but miss the mark by not garnering enough reviews.But I think that you need some sort of barrier. We could (and talked about) implementing a complicated scheme where any vote counts but the confidence is a score goes up as an item receives more votes, like IMDB does. The problem here is that we have nowhere near the body of reviewers that IMDB does, and as a result, we can't realistically expect to use that system. As it is, the 5 vote limits are enough for most purposes to establish a level of "confidence."If you don't beleive me, look at the reviewer list sometime, and see how many reviewers have just one or two products rated at a 5.</blockquote>
