Of course I would not consider it uniquely reproducible. My position on
eilu va'eilu and multiple valid positions has been repeated here ad
nauseum. If there is more than one right answer, then we couldn't
possibly have a methodology whose results are "uniquely reproducible".

Just as a poet can find multiple ways of saying the same thing, and even
someone using rich enough formal grammar rules can find multiple answers.
