This, of course, begs the questions:
1) What don't you like about the point-based system?
2) Why do you like the priority-based system over the point-based system?
3) Would you rather see the sum-to-ten system used? If so, why?
4) What modifications would it take for a point-based system to be the best
overall choice in your opinion?
I don't think we'll find ourselves in a "fight" here, this subject isn't
really given to those sorts of reactions. There will simply be the "whys"
and "hows" of each opinion. I highly prefer the point-based system for the
reasons I stated earlier and merely wonder why your preferences lie where
they do.
