This has made me wonder: Why do I enjoy point salad games so much? The answer is that I think I simply like the busywork at the end. I get a genuine rush out of the tallying. Though with the group I usually play with, we make it more interactive - one person tallies everyone's score, one component at a time, so you get the fun of talking about people's strategies as you go around the table. I'm boring enough to find this fun.
Still - I think your ranking of ending satisfaction makes sense!
I cracked up at the actual quiz at the end.
