I think you're over thinking a rating system. A 10/10 doesn't mean something is perfect. One of my all-time favorite albums, a 10/10, is Jalamanta by Brant Bjork. I wouldn't call it a perfect album though. The singing is too low in the mix, the drums can be too loud. But every time I hear the album it's still an amazing experience that I love. And anything less then a 10/10 feels wrong.
Ratings are not a measurement of perfection. You cannot measure perfection in art. You can only measure personal enjoyment.
