Just to be clear, I think what you want to really say is that the criteria are mechanically applied. Of course the choice of criteria is a separate question and may or may not be objective. Even a completely mechanically applied set of criteria can (at least arguendo) be a subjective choice dependant on ideological biases even of very drastic kinds. Just because the rules are the same for all, doesn't mean the rules aren't biased. I am not making any more pointed comment on the policy as such, just clarifying the logical structure in the aid of further discussion.
