Again, no justification has been made to overrule the will of the composer.
I offered only one, yes, but mine agrees with the composer's intent.  You
attempted to justify your position by claiming that the composer could
somehow be in error concerning the form he wanted his own vision to take,
but failed to state any basis that could possibly be used to determine
this.  Therefore, your attempt fell short.
