One of the main difficulties facing this project is the inherent bias of opinion and its foothold in rating someone or something. Despite any best efforts in creating the site to provide a fair rating based on outliers, averages, and weighted rating, it's difficult to ascertain the veracity of the rating provided. One of the disclaimers present in RateMyProfessor and PolyRatings is the innate disposition of biased opinion because each persons rating is based on their own experience and it is difficult to acquire an accurate metric of that. Therefore, having a hard rating may or may not reflect the truth of involvement of the person being rated.
