Ideally two people should give similar reports but could have wildly different scores. Some people I know love Ice Cream and I think they're just ok at best. I really like praying hands but people I have had try them don't like them nearly as much.

I agree and try to take a similar approach. It's an imperfect system since there isn't a great way to grow many varieties on the same plot of land, ripen at the same time, and be reviewed by multiple people. It's a bit more random in practice. The people who have the best chance on this forum are those who truly live in tropical conditions. I wish I was one of them sometimes. But I think I'm doing not too bad in my sub tropical climate.
