The surveyor could also have shown the group of images to a significant sample set of an audience and had them rate the suggestiveness and submissiveness of the images and taken that statistic... there were probably a dozen ways it could have been done better than just "me decided". I take umbrage with the supreme court decision, as well as with bodies like the MPAA who think they "know it when they see it". Cultures decide norms, not individuals, or even small groups of individuals.
