Message:: [QUOTE="Razz, post: 3442279, member: 100526"]I agree with pretty much most of what you state. Everything is a construct even the language we are using. Now I have not been in the game long enough to have a opinion about grading one way or the other, yet. But, and I am not putting words in anyone's mouth, to use your shooting target as an example some people think that the target has been moved by a few people when it come to grading. Ya see in target shooting the size of the red dot in the center and the rings on the target, while all constructs, are uniform so that in competitions the targets are scored or graded. These scores can be compared across decades of shooters. The standards of the targets are published for all to see. My analogy is this, some people think that other people are changing the size of the red dot and the rings on the target so that the scores are higher than they otherwise should be. Those people that have changed the target parameters have not published those changes and so there is a conflict. Whether those changes are deliberate, or random or whatever, some people think that a small group have co-opted the target standards for their personnel benefit.[/QUOTE]
