Oh yeah because we all know audience scores on RT are like gospel.
That's why they are constantly referenced when any movie comes out all over the internet as the defining measure of any movie. Heck, RT fan scores have been talked about and referenced, oh man I'm not even sure let's just say countless times in the dozens upon dozens upon dozens of movie discussions of the years here on CP. Just goes to show how widespread and important those scores are.
They have about as much validity as any internet vote/poll, exactly zero.
At least the critics are probably real people.
