This is the crux of the issue, in a nutshell. Despite its very binary 
pass/fail nature, WCAG itself requires a lot of contextual assessment, 
interpretation, and just plain old gut feeling sometimes.  With the 
exception of a few very cut-and-dry SCs, most of the criteria won't have 
an unambiguous interpretation, and attempting to pin things down 
explicitly will be difficult or impossible.
