I searched the Wine Spectaor 2008 ratings database and plotted the distribution for wines in the 80-100 point range. See a small image of the plot attached.
Please not the kink in the distribution at the 89-90 break. Wondering how you interpret it.
I had see this in someone else's plot for 12002, but the kink was not as noticeable.
My conjecture is that the tasters first categorize the wine by tier and then assign a number with the tier.
Your thoughts please.
There was no attachment to the post doenloaded from my NNTP server, either. Moreover, on viewing the headers, it doesn't appear that the post ever had an attachment, so either Leo forgot it or his server silently dropped the attachment, which on the whole is a better outcome than the entire post being nuked for posting a binary to a texts group.
