As judged by who?
(I don't endorse EY's original proposal, either.)
As judged by the person making the decision to delete.
I don't think the words "serious crime" have the property that different judges would make very similar judgements about a given discussion.
Is that phrase better or worse than
"Laws that are actually enforced" is at least an empirical question. "Serious crime" is just a value judgement.
"Middle class" is just as much an undefined term as "serious crime".
It's concerning that we are having trouble agreeing on where the edge cases are, much less how to decide them.
