Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)
This track has a Bayesian average rating of 74.1/100, a mean average of 71.7/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.7/100. The standard deviation for this track is 16.1.

I'm pretty sure this wouldn't work out. After accounting for the energy it takes for the cats to produce the skins, the remaining meat would be insufficient to feed enough rats to sustain catskin production. Just a law of economics guys.
