Perhaps the ratings system should only let readers remove a template,
then send them a welcome message (to an IP#, no less) that transcludes
the template of their expertise, and encourages them to follow the links in 
it,
and by those actions encourage them to ensure that their rating is even
more true.
To know and enjoy what you are good at is three blessings, because two of 
them are the same.

How does this differ from the talk page assessments? If this is meant
only for readers-who-don't-edit, then you will have to tell editors
that, as there will be some editors that try and skew the feedback for
a particular article.
