In a similar vein, I recall Oxford University used to have an examination grade that captured this type of thinking about tensive characteristics: the alphagamma.5 The Oxford grading system was similar to that of the United States, with alphas and betas instead of As and Bs. Gamma was the equivalent of an F. The old alpha-gamma grade meant that there were both astonishing, brilliant things in an exam paper, but also idiotic and stupid things.
