That is just silly, I have built a 10022 by myself but I do not own the set
(I was at a friend's place). I know what it looks like, how it is
constructed, the pieces used, etc... I can make an educated decision about
it. Also, what you propose is forcing us to say if we own a set or not. Fine
then, if I want to give my opinion and have it count, I can lie and say I
own every set.

This I disagree with this because I do not have a tendency to buy and rate
sets that in my opinion merit 10% or less (Galidor for example), but I would
buy a Galaxy Explorer, Alpha 1 Rocket Base, Deep Freeze Defender, etc... if
they came at the right price (all of which get a 100% from me).
