The average may not change, but the votes do. Especially if there are lots of voters, the under/over-raters have less importance in the final score, so it just washes out. Calibrated removes people who were off, you can see in Ghosty's last post, it adjusted a '3' vote and '9' as well, so the average stayed the same, but the votes moved around. Weighting makes it clear which vote would have been the most popular and by how much if there were a lot more voters, so the distribution there should be more accurate. Again, happy to listen to feedback and make improvements, but we can't stop people from voting the way they do, we can correct the votes to make it more reasonable, but that doesn't guarantee the final outcome would change (especially if there were a mix of over/under rates, at the end, they cancel out and especially if there were lots of votes to begin with outliers won't have as much importance either). But that still doesn't answer the question, why are people so obsessed with 1 or 2 outliers instead of looking at the overall votes.
