I don't understand how someone can say that there's a definate scale for how good an English (or whatever other language) version is, but the Japanese version of everything must all be perfect by default.

There is a good reason to be more critical with en English version over the Japanese, true. But sometimes you get people who go nuts and pretty much declare that "all English versions suck, all Japanese version are perfect." It makes about as much sense as a gamer saying "all games that don't have a mature rating suck."

Don't worry spectre, I wasn't taking a stab at you there, you've given a good reason as to your views, though I still don't see any real difference between an English version and Japanese with English subtitles. Take into account that every animes I own on DVD, I've watched in both English and Japanese with subtitles.
