    yes but you have to consider that with a religious text there may not have been a single intended interpretation. that’s like half the fun of mysticism after all

      The problem is still there though, even if there is multiple possible answers.

      Name any of the meals I had on this day 20 years ago. I almost certainly had more than one meal that day. But there still isn’t a path to get to the correct answer.

        okay, here’s a better question: does it matter if an interpretation is wrong? just because it is wrong doesn’t mean it can’t still be valuable
