Also not correct, various alternatives were tested, samples were shown, 
areas where problems occur were mentioned, advantages and disadvantages 
of various options mentioned, you can hardly cover this more in depth

of a long process a decision is made without once more listing in depth 
all arguments for and against it this does not mean the decision is 
arbitrary.
