This whole "judging episode" reminds me of a story about way back.
When I was in high school, I had this buddy that was the youngest in a large family. He had a sister that was just slightly older and they shared the same car, to take turns using.
She was a bit of a prima-donna, the family princess, and seemed to gain the upper hand in getting the car the majority of the time. I found it especially irritating since then we had to use my car and a couple of the guys had a tendency to ralph on our home-made beer rather easily. I told and told them not to shake the sediment, but anyway this guys sister was a target for any kind of revenge.
My buddy remarked that he didn't know what to get her for Christmas. Well she had one known defect that seemed of great personal concern to her. Not something you could really see, and believe me, I studied her intently.
So, having become an expert in the mechanical structure of brassiers, and having noted that some had an adjustable strap for front angle, I suggested he buy her two. One with DD cup and one with an A cup, and build a single custom "pair support" system.
He said he could never do that, but he must have thought it over because he related the story later. They were all sitting around opening gifts and when she opened hers, his older brothers just rolled on the floor. God, they were a mean family. Said even his mother smiled.
I was proud of my part at the time, but in retrospect it was a crude thing to do. And she knew where the idea came from, which killed any chance I might have had for some empirical data work.
