Observation. Watching them play. But when we see the player infrequently, there's not much to go on.

Wow. I'll give you five options: (1) You're being intentionally obtuse b/c its fun to see our reactions; (2) You're twelve; (3) You forgot to take your meds; (5) english is your second language; or (4) You're an idiot.
In response to your response:
First - I asked for
objective criteria. Go ahead and assume that I am talking about a fan's perspective. You do not provide an answer. For two people to compare the same players by watching the two players and then discussing their relative strenghts and weaknesses is BY DEFINITION a
subjective comparison based only on the opinion of the observing individuals. Each individual may observe the same actions but perceive them differently.
Again I ask, w/out relying on mostly useless stats, please explain to me how two fans can have a discussion about the strengths and weaknesses of two players w/out it being simply an exchange of individual biases for or prejudices against the player.
Second - Okay, let's assume I am talking about comparisons "by the professionals": What means do they use to make objective comparisons? OR are you asserting that "the professionals" have NO objective criteria and rely solely on their subjective observations?
