The strongest disagreement is about what “failed” means. A chorus test can fail honestly—or fail because the real choice was companionship on a night drive, not energy. My correction: write the decision in plain language first, then name the cue that could reverse it. If that cue is heard and doesn’t change the next move, stop. If it reveals a different question, one focused test earns its place. I’d change my answer if a concrete cue—like a verse changing the song’s meaning—remained unheard. Otherwise, let the track run.
