Criteria: Criteria do not follow from a definition but must be developed. The criteria for the application of a concept to an object are more concerned with language practice in a community. E.g. the definition of truth does not provide a criterion for which sentences are true.

Gerhard Schurz on Criteria - Dictionary of Arguments

I 29
Definition/criterion/Schurz: a definition does not provide a criterion for finding the defined objects.
Criterion: can be found this way: Determine the empirical consequences of the hypothesis and test it with observations. E.g., I must be able to pick out the object indicated by the ostensive term "this flower" and the quality expressed by "red" to be able to check the truth of the corresponding proposition.
