The concept of suites within granitoid batholiths must be treated with extreme caution, especially when petrogenic interpretation of identified suites is involved (e.g. infrastructural control of granitoid suite composition). Without stated, necessary, and sufficient operational definitions of the parameters (and their weighting) used in suite definition, suite/s should be avoided.
