> If most kinds of success or talent are usually perceived, can we ever truly say someone is "good" at something? Only if there are established and accepted criteria, standards on which everyone agrees. The driving range of an electric car, for example. By contrast, outside science and technology, "good" is a matter of individual taste. My point? Standards must be defined and accepted by all interested parties. Here's my favorite example of the opposite case: an optimist and a pessimist have a debate. The optimist says, "This is the best of all possible worlds!" The pessimist says, "That's right!" Both declare victory.
