"I think this is a key point that critics are missing when they try to bring up "crap" ratings on articles like Bieber and GWB."

I think the key point they're missing is that determining the true quality of the article is not a validated use of the tool. Experienced editors should be evaluating articles according to the English Wikipedia's extensive policies and guidelines, not according to the responses from recent readers. So far as I can tell, that's what our editors are actually doing. I haven't seen anyone yet say "I've got to totally re-write this Good Article, because some readers gave it a low rating!"
