Where as normally you would also have the option to just have fun with it.
I don't think AX is picky, I think the theme is picky. How many entries were questionable? And to be precise, he says:
...so good entries like Namiey would still be disqualified if we were to be anal about it.

As "unfair" it may sound, it's a contest, and a contest has rules, we can't asept a dog in a contest of lambs, it's illogical to asept "float" in a contest of "flying", because that would be unfair for the ones who worked hard and dedicated in make a sig fitting the theme. All this is part of a challengue, if peo'ple find it unfair, then perhaps they'r enot ready for participating in a contest like this.
