It's not weird at all. Simey and Rob (pt perp) are tight with their stars, Neil and Simon Carter are a bit more liberal, the guy who did the Frog guide threw confetti around like he was at a wedding. They've all made conscious or unconscious decisions about what a star is worth (and its worth different things in different books).
