What's so magical and wonderful about 7.1 ?

Okay, I've been watching the ratings of anticipated games for months, and it is getting kind of creepy how the MMORPG.com community seems committed somehow to keeping the top games steadily, carefully at that magical 7.1 rating number. Heaven forbid a game gets to 7.2 before it is quickly knocked down to 7.1 again.
So... what's up with that? Are there actually a large number of people who go out of their way to give low ratings to any game that creeps up above 7.1? It's weird and honestly *not* very democratic looking. I refuse to believe that the top 7-8 games are really equally anticipated so much that tehy all have the same rating within a 1% degree (10.0 = 100 possible degrees of rating). This long-standing 6-9 way tie really does smack of... something. : )

It is the magic number of home theater systems!
When people will pay others to play a game for them it might be a sign the game isn't all that fun.
Ohh ya I have 7.1 surround sound on my Sound card.
I think its competing companies trying to keep thier game hyped and other games down; just happened that 7.1 is the median.
