It can easily be determined statisticly Yes you can make all sorts of charts and graphs about how many people will prefer one thing to another. But still for each individual involved it can be different. If 80% of people prefer A, 15% B, 4.8% C, and .2% D through Z steadily declining for each letter, why can't someone choose to pick Z? or even by common sense. In some circumstances getting fish is better than getting silver. In many circumstances getting cash is better than getting company stock or stock options. Perhaps getting better health benefits might be better for many people than either of those things. Even if there is one common sense best answer for most people I don't see why there should be a law mandating this selection. Tim
