Hi Leo,
That is the kind of honest impartial evaluation I like to see. I have long thought that there was something wrong with the list your refer to, but never spent any quality time to think it over and run it through my data processor with built in truth detector and bullshit detector. Any datum is only as good as it has been evaluated. Any datum is only as good as it works, only as good as the number of problems it solves, and how well it solves them. I think it is best to say that those are good guidelines with conditions and exceptions and limitations. And not the only ones. You would be hard pressed to find real absolutes in this universe. I just applied the same evaluation process as you did, to 1 and 3 and I see situations where they would not be good to operate on. Good job.
