In case people do as I do and interpret this as a suggestion box: I would find it interesting to be able to answer with a confidence value from 0% to 100%. The SRS should take this in account to decide when to show the card again. Wrong or unsure answers will be repeated very soon and wrong more often, very confident and correct answers get much longer resting time.
Note that I do not use Anki or other SRS as they have been some pain to work with for me. I’d like to use them on my Android phone but in the past it was just too much of a hassle to get it up and running and maintaining it.
Is that not what SRS like Anki does already? Granted they force you to pick one of 5 categories of difficulty rather than one of 100, but it’s basically the same.
Not really. You pick the category after the answer, not before. The categories are supposed to represent effort in remembering the answer, not how lucky you got with your guess.

If you’re guessing, mark that card as having been wrong.
In real life, there are probabilities, but in Anki, you should have either “I remember this with certainty,” or “I’ve forgotten this.”
