The range of stars is very deliberately NOT zero indexed, you cannot rate a product below 1.

It has been a constant source of irritation in my life that I could never rate the Spawn movie zero stars on IMDB.

Consider the first star as an award for technically qualifying as a “movie” in much the same way as tree bark qualifies as food.

It’s actually the pith between the bark and the sapwood that is edible.
