I do not think any aspect of the case can be approached (or at least sustained) in isolation.
At the other extreme, we have the Ripper's thoughts, motives, nor the influence upon him of the victims' ages or physical appearance, whether he led them or they led him to each murder scene, etc... none of which are documented anywhere. Like it or not they are all products of the imagination - that is, they are entirely subjective. By definition, therefore, such things cannot be used to objectively differentiate between whom the Ripper did, or did not, kill.
