I agree. When the scriptures say "seek to obtain charity" or "seek to be humble" it's not easily quantifiable, if at all. Doesn't mean they aren't commandments, however. Though I doubt it, maybe someday the temple recommend questions will include "are you meek?" but I don't think they were ever intended as the final list of the only binding commandments.
