I respect all subjective opinions when it comes to liking and disliking something.
I can see how someone would vote for Muramasa (I'll buy it as soon as I can, as I loved Odin's Sphere) instead of a 3d game, because it looks gorgeous.
Or that you can like LP2 visually more than any other game you've actually played - or even just seen in trailers or demos.
But when you use the word "benchmark" you enter a different realm, one of measurable properties, and that's why I -wrongly, it seems- steered the conversation towards technical details. There's no benchmark of expressionist paintings and there's no benchmark of swing music. But there's a benchmark for read speed of SATA drives or for low aperture numbers of sub-$100 lenses.
You want to keep it subjective, that's fine, that's not even something that can be debated. Just an advice: words are important, and people might ask you to keep to their strict meaning. Don't talk the talk if you won't walk the walk :)
