Therein lies the problem with using terms like "reasonable" in a legal document. It's a subjective term, and there are plenty of definitions that are going to work for some people and not others. Arguing over what is and what is not reasonable is a wasted exercise: The best we can do it put the issue to a vote and go with the opinion expressed by the voting majority.
That's the epitome of "tyranny of the majority".
I didn't say it was pretty, but then again reality rarely is. We have a lot of reasonable people* here who can't even agree with what constitutes "reasonable" attribution.
* I make the blanket assumption that everybody here is being perfectly reasonable.
