Craft-clean

Craft-clean. Said of a law, an article, a piece of engineering or an argument: the work was done properly.

The phrase exists because Germans need to separate two judgments that English tends to run together. A law can be politically wrong and handwerklich sauber. It can also be politically right and handwerklich schlecht, and the second is a real criticism that survives agreement with the aim.
