XXV closes by listing five grounds of censure and saying the answers lie under "the twelve heads above mentioned", without numbering the heads. Reading the paragraphs, the text itself labels the answer for three types: impossible (justify by artistic requirements, the higher reality, or received opinion; or by attaining the end), irrational (appeal to what is commonly said; censure it when no inner necessity requires it) and contradictory (the dialectical-refutation test). Depravity of character shares the "no inner necessity" censure with the irrational. For "morally hurtful" and "contrary to artistic correctness" no paragraph is labelled; pairing the "by whom, to whom, when, by what means, for what end" test and the language-based solutions with them is an inference. The probable-impossibility and chance material is already in C3-B014-S4-02 and C3-B163-S34-03.
