Maybe my definition is on the liberal side, but I would say that you 'know' it when you play it and it sounds like you're playing it. When you understand why each note is there and what the important notes are, or what the essence of the falseta (or any piece of music for that matter) is, and are able to communicate it clearly to the listener. I don't think it has to do with speed, accuracy, cleanliness, etc. Of course these things are important, but they are always a means to and end. The end being the communication part. On a related note. An amazing guitarist most of us here know, love, and respect, told me that learning falsetas note-for-note is silly and un-flamenco-wee. Every time we play it should be fresh and different (or something to that extent). Of course -- he's a genius. I still need to learn some things note-for-note.
