The subjectivity is not the problem. The unworkable, over complicated
rulebook where one central guideline will do is the problem. Also, I don't
care if my thoughts are considered condescending or seen as heresy or
whatever, this isn't relevant to whether or not the idea is workable.

The one solution? Your words, not mine.....and it's not that brilliant
either. It's blatantly obvious. But people never bother to think (except
people such as those on this list)....
