I was wondering if someone could tell me about the slight semantic nuance between the words bellow and when each one can be used:

  • Benchmark

    Benchmark

     
  • Criterion

    Criterion

     
  • Yardstick

    Yardstick

     
  • Touchstone

    Touchstone

For me 'benchmark' and 'criterion' mean the same and 'yardstick'and 'touchstone' mean the same too.
