I'm glad you like it, capnzapp! I'm not aware of any standard score assigned by RPGnet. If there is any standard for RPGnet it's that everything is a 5/5 and deserves huge amounts of hype until it's neatly placed on a bookshelf. My review scores have always been considered harsh in that I actually try to go by the guidelines and assign 3 as an average.

And besides the index issue I haven't really found any glaring mistakes - that is sufficiently rare to warrant a higher score all by itself, I would say.
Most RPGs don't have glaring mistakes... What kind of games are you buying?
