Maybe for you it does, but myself, I really enjoy all the conversations and feedback given, both positive and negative. I love the interaction, and if I was just doing what I wanted, there wouldn't even be a single benchmark. I see the job of a "reviewer" to provide honest and accurate information at all times, and when you're honest, people thank you for it. I personally view that comparing a $1000 high-end product with a $100 entry-level product, and then basing a score on that compare, is insane. but a simple score, as many have already said, doesn't tell you the full picture, so there might be limited value in just a general scoring system. You need a way to differentiate things.
Yet if I removed my own vote right now, the majority vote would be to get rid of the scores. I voted for no removal.
Depends on the environment too. Not many other sites have the level of comments and interpersonal relationships, ease of access to the reviewers, that TPU has. I am not arguing against any of your points, nor am I saying I do not concede to what the masses what to see in reviews. Although, with the situation I am currently in, there is little feedback outside of trolls or those who don't have the first clue, so it is quite possible I see things through different colored glasses than reviewers here do.
