Because of the assumption of there being a correct answer. It is as much a problem of definitions and arbitary valuation as anything.

An academic analysis like what you linked to has to assume everybody have settled on the same definitions and valuations.

That's true of all analysis. We can't even calculate 1 + 1 if we are not going to agree to the definition of the plus sign.

See my other comment describing what a perfect answer looks like.
