Another point of the "bokeh" madness is that we try to
blur the background so that the subject matter stands
out. As long as its a good picture by its
presentation, why even analyse the non-essential part
of the fuzzy/out of focus "bokeh". 

I'd say, look at the "BIG PICTURE", instead of the
non-essentials.
