i think that with a choice of 1-5, I have a definite and clear choice that really reflects how I felt about something.

A 100 point scale is too much resolution. The difference between saying I liked something 82 points vs 87 points is meaningless.

I agree, for me it's something along the lines of:

* "This is what's available? I'll have a water please."
** Not worth my time
*** I will be just fine drinking it if it's the only thing available
**** Great beer, will drink it often
***** Favorite beer, I don't even care that it's $8.99 for a 12oz bottle[/list]
