I would state that statistics and subjective comments provide different types of feedback... and that comments help supplement the scenario numerical ratings (as stated earlier). Also, I believe that neither statistics or comments should be evaluated separately, but utilized together to generate a more "complete" picture of a scenario.

Agree. When designers / players review scenario comments, it is also a good practice to understand the individual's overall "Win %" who left the comment. I would be more inclined to accept the comments of a player who has a .600 + win percentage and has played a large number of different skilled players... than an individual who has a sub .200 win % and plays against the same 1-2 folks.
