iPhone App Store Ratings Confuse Me

OK…the iPhone App Store rating system confuses the hell out of me.  First of all, one my apps shows almost 2000 reviews, but when I go to look at them, all I see are 186.  WTF?!?!?!  Also, in order to even see that many, I have to sort by “Most Recent”.  Also, one my apps show that I have 9 reviews with an average rating of 3.5 stars.  When I look at the ratings…first of all, I can only see 5 and all of them are 4 and 5 stars, no matter how I sort them, so my rating should be 4.5 stars, correct?  I obviously can’t see the 3 and lower reviews, but I must have them or else my rating wouldn’t be 3.5 stars.  UGH!!!!!

Just venting.  Thanks!
