Question is, are these facts worth of analisys? Is a pat in the back all that important?

I think these are all attempts to measure credibility, contribution, relative social standing, and worth. Whether these qualities or those like them bear rating and sharing, in this specific case, is outstanding. In the more general cases, such as intelligence, trait psychology, analysis of the performance of politicians, doctors and even psychotherapists, I'd say many questions remain unanswered.

(ETA: Oh, and yes, pats on the back are important. I'm very fond of the pats on the back that I receive, though not nearly as fond as I am of the pats on the front.)
