This looks like a lazy attempt to prop up a system that, instead of correcting flaws in its weighting and aspiring to be more fair, takes the easy option and just declares that they're not trying to be that. What does it mean to be "comprehensive and thorough" but not fair? "Comprehensive and thorough" describes the process and "fair" seems like what they should want to achieve with that process. If not fairness, what is it that they're trying to aim for by being thorough and comprehensive?
