The question of which ones of the list philosophers will 'balk at' is quite 
different from the question of 'what would work' i.e. what would improve the 
content.  Answer: none of them. They are all eminently sensible and 
desirable.  On citation I can remember getting this drummed into me as part 
of my elementary philosophical training some years ago.

Now: why haven't they worked?
