The column "mouthfeel" is a sensory rating on an ordinal scale [0-5], centered at 2.86, with 14.7% zeros. This is an intensive quality measure—a level or intensity at a point in time—not an extensive quantity that accumulates. Summing mouthfeel ratings across entities is meaningless; averaging is the natural aggregation. The presence of zeros and bounded discrete range [0-5] confirms this is an ordinal rating scale, classified as intensive_additive. </reasoning> <table_type_conflict>false</table_type_conflict> </result> ```
