How people perceive scores:
10/10: This is the best of the best. Nothing can beat this.
9/10: This is very good!
8/10: Hey, that's nice!
7/10: Uh, it's fine.
6/10: You need to do better than this.
5/10: You need to do better than this.
4/10: Bleh.
3/10: Bleh.
2/10: Bleh.
1/10: Bleh.
0/10: Bleh.
This shows us that linear scoring is bad.
