*Shrug* As long as I'm not the one trying to figure it out and code into PM.

Psychologically, I believe the number will have a different effect than a star. It is like a general rating, which people (at least in the US) are used to (movies, restaurants, music reviews, etc...). A 17 is not really more valuable than a 12 (or 9, or 3 for that matter) but seeing the numbers will make someone pay more attention only to higher numbers. The star representing a range, again, will help stop that bias. IMO :)

I guess it's just a personal quirk. I prefer digital over analog clocks too. I prefer numbers to a star system, but if there is some method by which I can see what other Monks feel about the answer I'm considering using, I'm mostly satisfied.

I feel like we've (finally! :) ) reached the point where we understand each other's position, and can peacefully agree to disagree.

(P.S. I'm still right though :) )
