If I ask a guy does he like my site and he says yes, that's not the end of the research.
If I ask 100 guys, and 99 say yes, and 1 doesn't, doesn't the value of that 1 become closer to 0?

Yes, I should agree somehow with you. But this is more a drawback of "being in the very beginning" state. I mean there are not so many products which collected more than just a few votes in X-Cart Marketplace and as soon as more X-Cart merchants vote there the situation should change. Also, we added sorting by number of votes and preparing to add "Kudos from X-Cart community" feature which will take in account votes left within some period of time from the moment of page viewing.
