New Puzzles & the User's Evaluation of them

I was Puzzling a moment ago, and after finishing it Lichess asked for my evaluation of the puzzle. The binary rating-system I don't really like because although I did indeed find the puzzle "Interesting and correct", I also felt the puzzle could be improved by playing it a move further. (thus my feedback here)

The puzzle in question is #61099 from game #ndYmyQTG
It's a one-move puzzle ...RxB (complete)
I came here and typed this whole thing just to say this:
I believe the puzzle would be improved by making the puzzler play another move deeper.
after RxR, Nf4 in important to demonstrate. The heart of the puzzle is not about winning a piece in one move, It's proving that Black can do so without allowing White to recoup the material via QxN or otherwise sneaky tactics.

Deepening Puzzle #61099 from 1...Rxe5 (complete)
to: 1...Rxe5 2.Rxe5, Nf4 (complete)
would improve the puzzle In my opinion
(which you asked for)

Also, the player-evaluation of the new puzzles could be improved by adding some discrete-messaging feature...
like "do you have deeper thoughts than can be expressed through up & down arrows?" - [PM suggestion here!]

Thank You & Good Day
The very most Puzzles are very good so it is a little bit annoying for me to evaluate every one because 95% of them are very good anyway.
It would be nicer to evaluate only the 5% that are not as good. Mostly of them because of a weak answer move from the computer that give not much resistance from a human perspective.
But there are still correct so is it right to down vote them? I don't think so, so I don't vote at all anymore.
