I think my standardization will work, as long as everyone is comfortable
with that call being made here and not 'in-situ'. Things like 'mildly
inflammed' vs 'slightly inflammed' I take to mean the same thing. Likewise
'severely' and 'very' have been clumped in my mind. So as long as everyone
is comfortable with that happening in my hands and not in the field, I am
fine with that. I just wanted to make sure you were.
