| Feb 13, 2019 at 17:10 | comment | added | user2768 | @DavidRicherby Well, as it stands, the OP has adopted my answer, academia.stackexchange.com/questions/124908/… So, it is surely reasonable to considered it an answer. | |
| Feb 13, 2019 at 17:07 | comment | added | David Richerby | OK, so your answer is "Whatever option you go for, justify it." That still doesn't answer the question, which is which option to take. Including justification is probably good advice and might be a sensible comment, but it's not an answer. | |
| Feb 13, 2019 at 17:04 | comment | added | user2768 | @DavidRicherby My answer is not choose one of them, my answer is choose one of them AND explain why, which is rather different. | |
| Feb 13, 2019 at 17:02 | comment | added | David Richerby | @user2768 The question is "Which of these things should I do?" and your answer is that "Choose one of them." Really, that doesn't say anything. | |
| Feb 13, 2019 at 17:00 | comment | added | user2768 | @DavidRicherby The question actually asks whether to translate it literally or to chose one of the different possible interpretations. I suggest making a judgement call and explaining the basis for that call. That answers the question... | |

| Feb 13, 2019 at 15:53 | comment | added | David Richerby | The question is asking for advice on how to make this judgement call, so I don't see what your answer adds. | |
| Feb 13, 2019 at 15:40 | comment | added | user2768 | @jakebeal You want me to explain how to make a choice? That seems rather fundamental. Let me side-step the issue and rephrase to avoid the notion of choice. | |
