How do you use your ratings?

I suppose this is a discussion of ratings in general, but I am mainly interested in how people view/use their ratings. For example, in my opinion a 10 is basically a rating that exists only hypothetically. Because, no matter how awesome, no matter how flawless it may seem, there are elements that will be outdone simply because of limitations of that era e.g. animation, or nitpicky issues that I might have missed. I am willing to use 10 ratings for the individual aspects like Story and Characters and Sound, but probably never will for Animation or Overall. According to my internal scale (which I also have written down so I can refer back to something more concrete) these are my ratings:

5 - bad/watchable only with brain switched off

6 - mediocre

6.5 - passable/mildly entertaining

7 - good/does most important things right

7.5 - very good

8 - highly recommended

8.5 - actually ingenius, only nitpicky issues keeping it from flawless

9 - excellent/flawless from where I'm standing

I'm wondering if these match what you intuitively feel when you see ratings.
