In one posting I said that there are several possible reasons why you say my criteria are undefined:
1. They aesthetically displease you.
2. They�re non-traditional, and you�re a loyal follower of tradition.
3. You can show that they�re ambiguous in their wording, or that there�s a situation in which
they�re ambiguous in their answer as to whether or not some method passes or fails.
In a recent e-mail you said that the criteria are undefined because one [traditionally] doesn�t define criteria mentioning preferences. Criteria, you said, [traditionally] may only mention votes, which you call "cast preferences".
So that�s why I say that you�ve answered my question about why you think my criteria are undefined. The answer is answer number two: You believe that my criteria are undefined because they�re non-traditional, and you�re a loyal follower of tradition.
