> To an uneducated observer girls were being evaluated on their physical appearance. That is not a noble pursuit. Yeah, that's right. It was the execution that was referred to as 'Turing' rather than the notion that they were being compared by a metric other than looks. (I'm sorry if I'm being redundant here.) This is a reference to the Turing test, whereby, an observer holds conversations simultaneously with a human and computer counterpart over a network. The observer must attempt to identify the computer from the two conversations purely from the responses given. So it's the idea of putting two things side-by-side and choosing the more desirable... as opposed to simply assigning a number which is a little more arbitrary. I suppose on one hand he saw an idea that would become an instant success due to the simplicity of execution. You are right though: It's not a noble pursuit.
