Talk:The Cabin in the Woods

Critical acclaim, positive, generally positive, mostly positive, mixed to positive...
The film received reviews. There were positive reviews. There were negative reviews. There were reviews that were both positive and negative. There were reviews that you and I might not agree as to whether they were positive, negative, both, neither or something else altogether. We do not know what all of the reviews were. If we did agree, without exception as to whether each review was positive, negative or something else, we might be able to agree as to whether the reviews were "generally", "mostly", "positive", "mixed", "flavorful", "verbose", "mean-spirited" or something else. We would then be able to tell people at a party that we both agreed as to what critics said about this film. It would still be synthesis. We do not have a reliable source that says this film received verbose mean-spirited reviews from critics. We cannot characterize various individual reviews as verbose and/or mean-spirited and add them all up to say that the reviews were mostly verbose. That would be synthesis. Rather, we have numerous randomly selected reviews and two review aggregators. One review aggregator, using their unique method, gives it a 72/100. Another, using an entirely separate system, comes up with a 92%. Faced with the choice of two professors, one whose class average is a 72/100 and the other is a 92%, one would have classes that fill up in the first hour of scheduling. The other would have classes full of freshmen every semester. They do not agree. We cannot make them agree. That would be synthesis. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 19:39, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
