I’d say it’s important to use the word “rating” when talking about STAR. This is actually by design. Introduce it to people by saying “Give the politician an honest rating 0-5 stars”. And if they’re all rated as ones and zeroes, I don’t see a problem.
STAR can also be in a ranked format as well, with Ranked STAR being mathematically equivalent to regular STAR, but I agree that regular STAR leans more towards a rating structure.
