What is the most important of all form factors?

Now I've got your attention, I confess that this question, posed many years ago by a young journo, has remained a sort of permanent challenge to me.

You could come down to maybe ten or twelve finalists, as I often do.

Obvious ones, so I won't bore you by listing them.

But which one???

Just one.

OK, I plump for class.

I may change my mind tomorrow, or next year, but this one has been at the head of my list for quite a while now.

It has a big problem associated with it: it is very much an opinion-based thing. But then, so is virtually all betting. The late Bill Whittaker told me many years ago, when indeed I was a young journo, that RACING IS OPINION.

Without it racing would not exist.

We learn, and as we learn so we develop our views and preferences, our opinions.

That's where I stand. For now, anyway.

What about you?
