You get one of these applications in, you look at it, and decide if something should be redacted or not. You look at the guidelines; you look at the knowledge in your head, I suppose. There's a certain amount of discretion in all of these things, but if you're looking at a stack of guidelines this thick, maybe we need to simplify it somehow.</p>",
