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.
