The paper of Finan and Hurley - published in Computers and Operations Research (2002) - was re-examined, where they discussed a seemingly contradictory phenomenon resulting from the ignoring of wash criteria in the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). With that, they raised a serious challenge to the AHP methodology. However, by reviewing their arguments and example data, analyses regarding to their propositions and numerical example are presented in this paper to counter their challenge. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.
