yes, but that is the difference between a subjective ruling and an objective one.

So? How is that different from reviewing AdWords for acceptability, reviewing publishers for acceptance into the AdSense network, or making human judgments about sites that have flagged for manual reviews in the SERPs?

Do you have kids? If so, have you ever heard one saying something like, "Johnny got to eat dessert last week when he left peas on his plate, so why can't I?" The correct reply is: "If you'd finished your peas, you wouldn't have to worry what Johnny got or didn't get last week."

Make an honest effort to abide by Google's new policy, and you're unlikely to have problems--or to be worrying that Johnny might get treated better than you. :-)
