[eDebate] 100 point scale, not 50

[Ross Smith]

So, we originally had in mind a 50 point scale where you could still use 
half points.

My message analogizing to grades required people to divide 100 by 2 to 
get the idea.

Several people have pointed out that we might as well use a 100 point 
scale (without half points). Maybe it would be more "natural" to 
educators and students who are used to giving and getting grades on such 
a scale.

Since there is no mathematical difference, I have no objection (nor does 
Gary Larson, tab engineer).

What do people think? Does the 100 point scale help with the gestalt?
