Well, if you'd read your mail more often...

This does actually dovetail interestingly into my question regarding
judging criteria. 

Clearly, Moriel's judging criteria are based in part on what she knows
the entrant to be capable of; Just as clearly Talana's do not appear to be.
Mine seem to focus on what the object is presenting itself to be.  And others?
