What does 8/10 actually mean? 80th percentile? Or 3 sigma range? Also from what population? Total of affected gender? Of its nubile subgroup? Of its eligible subgroup? Of age group?
I feel like calling a girl an eight isn't really a compliment. Like, being above average on a numerical scale is kinda offset by placing a girl on a numerical scale in the first place.

If we're doing video game reviews, 8 is acceptable, 7 is horrible, 6 and below are reserved only for low budget titles, 9 is good and they're not allowed to give 10s
Even if the title is low budget and absolutely horrible it's not gonna get lower than a 6, because once a reviewer gives a score that low companies quickly stop giving them pre-sale access to their games. Losing that access puts a reviewer at a massive disadvantage since they'll no longer be able to publish a day 1 review of the game like everyone else, and day 1 is when most of the traffic happens. That conflict of interest is why game journalism is almost completely worthless.
My partner and I are both professors, but we took really different paths to get there. She was a straight-A student throughout her life, with one exception: she got a B in a baseball module in gym class. So now if she struggles with something (like separating the produce bag at the grocery store or something else mundane), I get to say "ITS BASEBALL ALL OVER AGAIN"
If someone is insecure, a compliment that feels true can be more meaningful than an objectively better compliment because it might not get shrugged off immediately as "a lie" or "wrong".
Oh, I've re-read your comment. You were more saying that boiling someone down to a single number is kind of reductive, even if it's meant to be an overall positive remark?
Yeah, this is what I was getting at. The B+ comment wasn't to suggest that there's anything wrong with being a B+ student (like I was), or that its not worthy of compliment or to be proud of. Rather, its not who you are, nor describe how smart you are. And using it as a proxy like that misunderstands what it *means* to be smart or valuable - to make an analogy to appearance ratings.

The best, or worst case, depending on how you take it, is that she thinks this is the hottest idea ever.
