The real issue is that review scores are so inflated that 1-6 indicates "bad" instead of any gradual scale of quality.
This is because digital magazines tend to avoid getting on the wrong side of publishers: preview copies allow for reviews to be already publishable on day one, which is a huge source of clicks/money.
