No.

In Tell culture you say something equivalent to "I want X with strength 9 out of 10".
The problem is that if everybody always says "9 out of 10" the stated preference becomes meaningless and the message becomes "I want X".

Ah! I now understand what you're saying. Sure, that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.
