Why would someone rate [...] with one star for difficulty?
Did he/she made an error? Or is he/she wanting to undermine the system?

Some of my harder puzzles receive only one star, too, so I guess people make errors. The alternative would be people thinking "What?! You think you're so smart that you only give this puzzle 3 stars? I'll show you! I'm so smart it only receives one star..." But that doesn't make sense for puzzles whose average is 5 stars. So I'm pretty sure one or more people made a mistake.

Other thing: I consider (most of) my puzzles as high quality.
First of all I am very surprised to see that even puzzles that are rated on average over 90% for beauty still have some values for beauty of 3. The good news is that so much more people filled in 5, that the average is still good. But also some of my creations are valued with 1 and 2. That makes me a bit sad, even more because I hardly ever use that values myself to rate other peoples puzzles. When I think I will give such a low rating, I simply stop solving, because puzzle solving should be fun in the first place.

So, also with the rating for beauty, I wonder if people made mistakes, or wanting to try to undermine the system...

Same phenomenom here, even if I ignore the puzzles that are "Meta". Also here I'm hoping for mistakes, but in the end it doesn't matter. If you have a look at online polls in general (for example amazon- or youtube-ratings) as soon as there is a sufficient number of participants there are always some variation no matter how good the article or video is...

I guess and hope it all evens out over time.
