i think the point of the exercise was that a. had an answer whereas the 
others have answers that are endlessly debatable. all are a form of navel 
gazing. the first is worthwhile because there IS an answer, even if 
trivial. the latter three aren't worthwhile and, basically, amount to 
picking lint out of your navel and classifying it according to various 
"lint typologies" that we also endlessly debate.
