Quirky handling, poor iso performance, slow, average or below in 4 out of 7 categories, and you give it 5 stars? 5 stars as in there is no room for improvement?

All this squabbling over a fundamental mistake (by you).

If you buy a large, diesel 4WD vehicle for 4WD-ing, then you go to write a review of it on the biggest car forum, but their standard review template makes you score it for F1 Racing Ability, and Multi-story Carpark Agility, giving it a low rating on those attributes doesn't mean the car needs to be improved.

Also, 5 stars in a personal review does not mean it is unimprovable, it means you are fully satisfied when using it the way you intended when you bought it.

Hear hear! If a 5 star rating meant there is no room for improvement,  then NO camera should EVER get a 5 star rating! Even the best of cameras could be improved. Take the venerable Nikon D800, as just one example. When that wonderful camera came on the market, there were cameras available with GPS built in, but that camera didn't have it. Instead, to get GPS coordinates for your photos short in the Bolivian Andes or the savannas of Africa, you had to use a clunky device, which would compromise the weather sealing of your camera body. To this day Nikon has not resolved this issue. THAT alone means the was room for improvement, even when that camera came on the market.

Don't get me wrong. I don't think Sigma has done any better, except in detail (the amount of detail the camera can capture) and price. I really wish Sigma would include a GPS in their cameras. I'd like an articulating screen too.
