For (2), furthermore, Hilbert has a naturalistic criterion of acceptance: we are constrained in the choice of systems by considerations of simplicity, fecundity, uniformity, and by what mathematicians actually do; Weyl would add that the ultimate test of a theory would be its usefulness in physics.
Considerations of overall simplicity, cooling and water control together with the need to operate at atmospheric pressure because of the cost, noise and inefficiency of air compressors all favour operating at 100°C or below.
Against this, there are the National Health Service's considerations of equity and simplicity of the eligibility criteria.
On the other hand, analysis of specific features, weighting prior probability, and consideration for simplicity must also play a role in formulating the problem.
However, we did not make these considerations here for the sake of simplicity.
For the sake of simplicity, we restrict our considerations to the elliptic (scalar) case (2 - 3).
