No, probably not. I didn't post this intending it to be applied directly to the voting.

The real purpose is simply to clarify these concepts. Clarifying does however come with benefits.
  1. Clearly distinguishes standard tiers from others like ubers
  2. Established the minimum to be treated as a competitive tier (skill based)
  3. Clearly identified why dominance is not needed to be banned (if it demerits skill)
  4. Better established how some vague terms such as "overcentralization" and "haxy" fit into tiering

While this does do some work to set the mindset/thinking behind tiering like previous threads like "portrait of an über", I intend for this to have none of the vague opened-endedness of those threads. This is not all encompassing like those threads and is only detailing a specific fraction of what goes into background tiering philosophy. Not an end all be all, but very clear and specific.
