Judges can say some pretty idiotic things at times too. I entered a wall hanging in a county fair and one of the judges mark downs was because you could see the background thru one of the fabrics. It really irritated me because I had hunted and hunted for a fabric that had the right sheen and was thin enough you COULD see the background thru it since it was the glass chimney of an oil lamp. Duh, you're supposed to see thru it!!
