I didn't take either comment as overly argumentative but more like a challenge (which we tend to do on this list from time to time). For me, coming up with two criteria is intriguing and caught my interest. I would love to see more on the validity of those two criteria, but what really interested me was how Roger translated those to an interesting LC project. Very cool. I would love to hear more about that.
