Bokeh is somewhat subjective.
Sometimes folks want pentagonal or other odd shaped bokeh than simple smooth uniform circles. I guess the point is it has to not ruin the image, and that in itself is a bit hit and miss. However, there are tests which can be done to demonstrate how the typical out of focus highlights are rendered with a lens.
I read a review, I think it might have been on filters, and they tried very hard to make a consistent test for flare, standing under a street light or something. An amount of flare can be fixed by using a lens hood even if one doesn't exist for it, it can be made. Gets damn difficult with ulta-wide lenses though. However, I'll concede that some lenses lack internal lens coatings and have internal flare, which there isn't much that can be done about it.
I do find it strange how we can be deceived with respect to audio, and accept being fooled by bias. However, in visuals we don't have any way to be biased, it's either not the image attribute we want or it is. So we need our eyes to discern differences much more than our ears?
