But if you want to say that there is definitely "consensus of established objective standards," I would like you to expound on that (see questions in my above post).

Seeing as you are quoting yourself, rather than me, and asking me to expound on it, and taking that together with the nature of your question list, I sense a futile exercise rather than a constructive dialog looming, and will decline. Sorry if I misunderstood you.

Yes, use your thumb to press on top of the bridge, pressing inward, towards your stomach. At that angle it difficult to generate much force with your arm / hand / thumb but it is enough to tell if the bridge moves or ... not.

Quoting myself? No, I quoted you. And I clarified what I said in my previous post so you would have some better understanding. But we do have consensus that this is futile.

Overbuilt has one less letter in it than underbuilt. You would think it would be the other way around, wouldn't you?
