Is this a philosophical debate or just a matter of semantics?

Anyway, worse is always easily denounced -- it is that which lacks in the characteristics you are gauging: poor soda is flat, overtly syruppy, or any other characteristic. Very enjoyable soda...well, people have different tastes, and since 'perfect' soda can be 'perfect cola', or 'perfect sprite' or 'perfect 7up' or whatever, people can argue a well brewed cola/sprite/7up/grape soda/soda water can be all examples of perfection.

:D?
