A Weighty Issue

I submitted this question to Garageband.com:

"are certain reviews more heavily weighted? reviews by users whose review rank is n/a? round 2 reviews?

i have a round 2 song that dropped from 4.5 to 3.6 after receiving 2 reviews that basically liked it, but had issues with it. i could see one being a 3 star and the other a 2. my mathematician friend says that even if they both gave me a zero, after 23 reviews my rating should only have dropped to 4.1, unless weighting is involved. So... is it, and how exactly? (I've been here for 9 years and have noticed that newbies can really burn you in round 2)"

I eagerly await their reply and will post it here.
