Yet the topic is not about making choices but about "correct/incorrect" or "right/wrong" (not in the moral sense). What he is saying is that the right/wrong-ness (in a non-moral sense) of a preposition is not really absolute, and even if two prepositions are "wrong" (in a non-moral sense) they need not be at the same level of "wrongness" (in a non-moral sense), e.g. if I say my height is 1.82 mts and someone else says my height is 3.54mts we may be both wrong, but I'm off by 0.02 mts whilst he is wrong by 1.46mts, so even if I'm "wrong" (in a non-moral sense); I'm a lot less "wrong" (in a non-moral sense) than he is. And in the case there is no better measure of my height, you'll be better of building a bed for a person who's 1.82 mts tall, than if you build a bed for someone 3.54 mts tall. As you can see, this has absolutely nothing to do with indecision, congress, esoterism, or whatever. Hope I was better than the author of the article in explaining the concept to you.
