We do have clear objectives in place. It's basic, simple.....the bag just has to fit into the sizer, not have to be CRAMMED into it. There's a big difference between actually fitting and FORCING an item into something. Common sense and observation tells me that I can't fit into that size 7 dress anymore. Yanking it over my hips and the rest of my body is probably possible but it would certainly be obvious to me and everyone else that it doesnt fit. If there are ticket counter and gate agents out there who can't conclude bags fitting or not fitting into a sizer visually or by common sense, I have no excuses for them.
