The 8 'oars' of indecision that --------- faced.
1. Deferral: Wait until next time
2. Referral: To another committee
3. Points of order: Procedural objection
4. The wider picture: "We need to understand the context

6. Ambiguity: Accept in principle, but not in practice
7. Precedent: "Let's not set one"
8. Denial: "Not for us to decide"
