(the following is IMO, IMHO, and the rest...)

The ratings are only aimed at the resulting image.  How difficult it
was doesn't count.  The technical score adresses technical coherence,
the pertinence of the use of some techniques,..  Does slick things
looks slick ?  Are relative scales right ?  etc,...

I know some people have a look at the sources to rate tech, but I
think it's wrong : would one rate down Leonardo's painting because
X-Rays shows he often painted over another existing canvas ?
