-Rest-

Those of us who use this system would probably explain it this way:  A point of reference.  Since we're establishing that 10/10 implies the game is perfect, and that no further polish could be done to enhance the experience, we're saying a 9/10 game is "near perfect."  This doesn't mean that the concepts behind the game can't be perfect for us (i.e. Pong, Chess, Tetris, Columns, Puyo Puyo, Solitare, etc.), but something about the execution seems off or could be improved.

For example, I think Puyo  Puyo is a 9/10 puzzle series, and will always enjoy its gameplay, but some things about its gameplay always came across as awkward for me.  Like how you can't access the hidden rows above the board until you build a staircase and rotate the piece up it.  You can't just simply move the pieces over those high columns while it's coming from above the board.

If you had read the rest of my post you'd realize why I thought that's stupid.

Because if all you can get is a nine and you get a nine then why bother improving if no amount of improving will increase the score. You might as well rate 9-out-of-9 for all the good it does you. But oh wait then 9/9 would be perfect BETTER START ONLY GIVING OUT UP TO EIGHT

It makes you look like a pretentious stick-in-the-mud that can't see the forest for the trees.

I agree with Gors that numbers are stupid and it's for precisely this reason that numbers are stupid. People take them at face value way too often and yet there's too much room for interpretation with some scores as evidenced by the fact this conversation even exists. It's the most bizarre paradox I've ever seen.
