I wouldn't assume to know exactly what Newsreel meant by this....but i certainly would agree with it.
Especially true making judgements from internet photos i would say.
And as has been stated on this forum again and again tannguh is a system meant to be applied to a relatively small group of keris. Even then, by it's own definition, it is still just an estimate and one which even true experts in the field can argue and differ on. So yes, i would call it "tricky"....
