That's for sure. I actually prefer the 20-80 way...the middle rating of 50 covers the midpoint exactly (92-108), while the 2-8 scale is oddly shifted towards the high end. 198 points to get an 8 rating?
FWIW, the 1-5 scale also hits the middle (almost) exactly...3 corresponds to 80-119 points. The other three scales, using an even number of values, are off by a bit (e.g. 5/10 = 80-99, 6/10 = 100-119) but at least in a logical way. It's barely noticeable on the 1-20 and 1-100 ranges anyway since their own granularity is pretty fine already.
I haven't quite figured out what's up with the colour coding...my working theories are a) the formula used for the colouring is slightly off...maybe using 16.7 instead of the exact 50/3 or somesuch, or b) the rating scale was slightly adjusted at some point, maybe from 2006 to 2007, and the colours didn't undergo the same adjustment.
