I hear Ted clearly saying that, for him, catching the action and emotion clearly stand out as number one. Seeing some of his work, I'd guess that positioning himself, with respect to the light, for the best rendering, would run a close second. And then if the out of focus areas look good - hey great. And if they don't, neither he nor his periodical publishers, will lose a wink of sleep over it. He's making uncontestable, personal statements, regarding his work and methodology. Others on the list choose to approach the image from a "gorgeous bokeh" position. Perhaps they're concentrating on flowers or falcons, rather than prime ministers sliding down banisters, or surgeons in operating rooms. It doesn't translate into a contest, as if one holds a truth that needs defending at sunrise and twenty pases with the offended's choice of weapons - although we could meet there and then and at the count of ten turn and fire our M6's at one another and then compare your 50 cron with the sun at your back to my 50 lux with sun in my face.
