Great thread.
I agree that the old 1 to 10 scale leaves a lot of room for subjective variation.
As I was reading this thread, it suddenly hit me that this problem has historical antecedents. It is the very same one that used to plague the world of coin-collecting. Before the advent of a neutral, universally-recognized "grading" system, the numismatic world had a variety of conflicting appraisal systems.
Then the "Professional Coin Grading Service" was established. It rated coins on a scale of 1 to 70. Here are the criteria:

I'm only half-jokingly going to offer a similar solution. What we need is an appraisal service for women. A universal standard that is generally accepted by everyone.
Before the metric system in France, there was a chaos of competing systems of measure. Then a committee was set up to "hit reset" and start with a whole new system. Hence the meter was born.
So, that seems the only logical way to replace the current, highly subjective 1-10 scale.
Don't laugh...but I would suggest that the RVF offer itself as a new, universal "appraisal service" or "grading service" for feminine beauty. It's wonderful in its simplicity...isn't it? Think of all the problems it would solve. You can now "appraise" a woman "sight unseen" across the world, and everyone will know what you're talking about. It's the equivalent of having a neutral appraisal done. Everyone will know what everyone is talking about.
Someone--or a committee here--should draw up a truly objective, rational "grading scale" and offer it to the world as the new standard.
