I interpret that reply to mean, literally: RatingsRUs.example.com collected
50,000 data points about Alex Rodriguez.  It is 100% certain that "Alex
Rodriguez" refers to a real thing.  The data collected indicates that the
claim "Alex Rodriguez is good" is 50% true.

As a person reading this, I take that to mean he's not good but also not
bad at whatever the application space covers, or that it's 50% likely that
he's good.
