Smells like a cop-out to me. The "Top 10" wasn't an objective list from
the get-go. They didn't build the list from sales figures, or
product-longevity, even massive 'nostalgia surveys'. They may have used

of people working on the show. So claiming that some particular item
was 'just below the cut-off' is BS.
