Heck, *I* disagree with some of my own choices. Especially when faced with, say, one of Ki no Tsurayuki's better efforts. Though with Japanese, I'm rarely as worried about preserving order -- all too often syntax differences is going to prevent that anyway -- as ambiguity and double-meanings.
But circling back to that first line, context affects local choices -- where sometimes the context is the whole schmere.
