There is only one possible way - personal judgment. No objective measure exists, so that leaves us only with the subjective. The past argumentative year or so on EN World shows that very clearly - our community does not have a single standard for "good".

So when someone else has a differing opinion, who is right now?

The issue isn't differing opinion - the issue is whether the existence of differing opinions implies that the system is broken. I don't hold that it does.

If you say that both are right, just for different reasons and rationales, then what is it that makes the judges' opinions hold any more water/weight than the rest of us? They should be correct because they are an authority in this field, not simply because they are in authority.

That is why we
elect judges. We put them into the position of authority. If we put people there who are not authorities in the field, that is our own fault.
And yet another word from our sponsors
