creative effort. The list Guy is pointing to is one that adds
information, information about personal judgments. Like a novel or a

Game
scores are game scores; they're facts, and even if only one entity
bothered to collect them, many could have. The Sports Illustrated list
of the 100 Best Games of All Time may include facts, but it's mainly
judgment.
The issue becomes how it's being reported, then. Is the list of cars
being compiled in relation to cars, or in relation to the list-
makers? If it's the latter, it's much more like FA cup results.
