Oh, I hope it didn't sound like I was doubting you! In grad-school, I studied assessment and evaluation (educational testing and psychometry). That was a long time ago and I don't work in that field, but I've maintained an ongoing interest in assessment instruments and how people in different fields set up tools like that.

So really, I was more like pointing out that the worksheet you showed us doesn't seem to account for the situation I described. Like, if you found yourself judging something that's technically great in all those aspects, but you don't think it would really work taste-wise, what would you do? Would you feel obliged to give it a higher score than you would if you were tasting it? It's more like a technical interest in how one judges our dishes when you don't have access to the dish for tasting.

I'm very sorry if it sounded like I was attacking your professional credentials!
