	[source: brezhnev.net] Qualifiers like 'excellent', 'good', 'moderate', etc, take on different meanings depending on where you are. Just for an example, take a look at the above chart, comparing the air pollution indexes between Hong Kong and Beijing. HK's 'HIGH' = BJ's 'GOOD' HK's 'VERY HIGH' = BJ'S 'SLIGHTLY POLLUTED'. So misleading!
