I encourage you to look at every single comment I've made, and let me know if you find any comment that says I think very many readers will "view the ratings". I believe you will find several indicating my belief that the vast majority of readers will not view the ratings.

This is one of the laws of the web: every click loses a substantial percentage of the audience. Most readers will never click through to view the ratings. The people who look at the ratings are editors like you. The vast majority of readers will not be "misled" by the ratings, because readers will not ever bother to even look at the ratings.
