I don't want to start de-brainstorming ideas, but RonCo's studies had one fatal flaw: he looked at ratings rather than the stats the ratings produced. There is probably a pretty good correlation between the two but there may be statistical synergies created that just looking at ratings wouldn't accomplish. I'm not saying that this shouldn't be looked at; far from it, I think that a big part of the beta testing this year should be re-doing a lot of the stuff that RonCo did. I just also think that this isn't *necessarily* as large an issue as he made it out to be.
