I had a little look around on other threads (specifically the Book Clubs Selections list) but couldn't find anything obvious.

I'm not trying to incite a heated discussion on personal viewpoints here, I'm just curious and simply want a 'yes, the rules are x [link]' or 'no, it's up to personal judgement' type answer! Thanks.
We've batted this question back and forth and as far as I can tell, it comes down to a question of personal judgment. Although I'm pretty sure that there are not many college level classes on the classics that include an in-depth discussion of Storm Front.
