    किसी भी दस्तावेज़ को शाब्दिक रूप से पढ़ने के लिए गलत तरीके से पढ़ने का कोई तरीका नहीं है। जैसा कि हम कर सकते हैं, हमें अपने आप को उन लोगों के स्थान पर रखना चाहिए जिन्होंने शब्दों का उच्चारण किया था, और यह समझने की कोशिश की कि वे कैसे अप्रत्याशित स्थिति से निपटेंगे; और, वे क्या किया होगा का सबूत, वे किसी भी तरह से अंतिम नहीं हैं।
