If you're only going to rate something in a 25 point range, just make it a rating out of 25 instead of adding to each rating to make them seem higher.

Brooks basically states my opinion here, more or less, so I won't make you all suffer through another explanation of the same exact thing

Well-said. I dislike all numbered rating systems, but starting at 70 seems specious at best, and deceptive at worst.
