If you want to be a linguistic pedant, then we should consider that both “ignorant” and “ignore” ultimately comes from proto-indo-european *ǵneh₃-, which meant “to know”, and a negation prefix. So really the words should mean “the act of not knowing” (ignore) and “the quality/state of not knowing” (ignorant). Not avoiding knowledge, just lacking it
Rating things on a numerical scale is pointless and only meant to give the false impression of some objective standard, when really knowing what the person meant requires knowing what their tastes are anyway
If you’re gonna review something, just give me insight into your personal tastes, and then tell me whether you liked it or not
