I mentioned a few times (tho perhaps you missed it or forgot about it)
that I am not talking about technical questions.  What I am talking
about are fundamental "goals" (not the best term, but a better one eludes
me) in life.  Since this is essentially a subjective matter, I don't
see how Y & Z could make the decision for X, unless X communicated
his/her goals to them.  But then, it would seem that X already knows
what his/her goals are (I realize this may well be arguable).  In any
event, if X doesn't know what his/her goals are, how can he/she judge
the merits of (Y & Z)'s past decisions.
