Of course, someone could always say "That math is nice, but I see no reason to accept your criteria. Sure they're simple and elegant, but I happen to prefer a computational model fulfilling different criteria." That's inevitable.

It seems to me that if there is no universally optimal criteria, what you have to do is ground these a priori arbitrary choices in real world performance. It's the match with the environment that makes criteria "right"
