Abstract: The paper provides an overview that covers the main criticisms of the AHP and the authors replies to them. Because there have been many papers that reply to criticisms, the thrust here is to classify them and reply to them briefly in each category without giving lengthy repetitions of what is already known in the literature.
Keywords: Rank reversal, Inconsistent judgments, Preserving rank, Fundamental scale, Pairwise comparison
