First, given that accepting that something is inexplicable is generally a philosophical last resort, and granting the importance of extensional adequacy, list-like or enumerative definitions are if possible to be avoided.
Each of these is the subject of further definitional debate, including the adequacy of the list itself.
(Anderson cites Kuhn's 1977 list: empirical adequacy, consistency, scope, external consonance with established theories) (Anderson 3004, 3).

As the adequacy and acceptability of current waiting list policies is unclear, our study aims to outline the views and preferences of different stakeholders on various closely related aspects of prioritising patients and acceptable waiting times in care provision.
For example Arndt [30] mentioned that the SSD adequacy process using the design criteria listed in the current design guidelines would lead to very wide shoulders, which was described as uneconomical, whereas in case of maintaining the original shoulder widths, rather conservative speed limit values should be implemented [31].
Some major risks of bias listed in Cochrane reviews (adequacy of randomisation, concealment of treatment allocation, blinding of the outcome assessor, ITT-analysis) [ 10] were present in the majority of studies.
Vuori [12] reinforced Myers [10] and Donabedian's [11] studies by presenting effectiveness, efficiency, and adequacy as analysis items, and contributed to the list by evaluating quality improvements of scientific-technical competence as properties of quality measurements.
We reviewed the reference lists of key articles to ensure adequacy and completeness of the literature database, and limited article retrieval to articles written in English or with English translations available.
His list of cognitive values included accuracy (empirical adequacy or truth), scope, simplicity, fruitfulness, internal consistency and consistency with other beliefs (conservatism).
