The notation says that there are - say - 7 ratings, but when I click on "who likes this" only 5 names come up. And only 5 pictures show as 'fans'. What's the deal? Are some people able to rate recipes without being counted?

Do you actually care? Plus - the counters have been out of commission for eons so there's no sure-fire accuracy there, either.

I certainly wouldn't deliberately post an unfavorable rating simply because the person didn't like one of mine. That has nothing to do with the recipe itself. Thanks again.

There are varying levels of sophistication, regional preferences, ethnicities, etc. and those aspects of course color reactions, besides the obvious personal taste. Give me anything with cilantro and it tastes like soap to me... I'd not rave about it. ;-)
As long as this is under "Suggestions," I'll add that it's so not worth the getting caught up with that. I used to look in terms of if I had many positive reactions to a recipe I'd add others with similar appeal.
Go for making discoveries of new favorite recipes and share those you think are terrific and you'll stay a very adored person here at GR.
