Extremely Useful vs. Useful

Raven Raven
I want to mention that when rating a review, our current level of knowledge about products will enter into the rating we give, as well as what it is we want or need to know. I may have more prior knowledge of BDSM products, for example, so what I need in a review of such will be different than that of someone who is entirely new to the subject. Or it could be that after researching a specific type of toy, I've had all but one little nagging question answered, and so if I read a review that finally answers that question, I will be more likely to give an extremely useful rating than someone else might.

Last night I rated a review and was surprised to find that I was the only one who gave it an extremely useful rating, all the others being useful. The review gave as much information as it seemed possible to give, was written in an interesting fashion, and had a little humor, as well. I couldn't see how that review could have been improved upon, so for me it was extremely useful, although the other raters had felt differently.

This is true. If I have personally used a product, I can sometimes see when a review is lacing something about a feature it had or I may ask if the person had a different experience altogether.
