Monofilament, What does it mean

Not an attempt to change the direction of this excellent thread, but I'm wondering, BB, if you (or other posters) have any thoughts on how line sensitivity could be actually measured? It seems like such a subjective quality to me. Unless we could somehow fish with two lines at once and have the exact same force applied to both our lures, how could we really detect or quantify a difference? Maybe when Tavery starts his thread on flourocarb lines, this sensitivity issue can be discussed more fully.
