Or, in another interpretation, selecting the argument that had the most merit.

Boris wrote two articles so he could judge the credibility of each argument. Typical Boris. Most people, faced with a difficult choice to make, just write a list of advantages and disadvantages of each option. Boris writes full blown articles. There might even be Shakespearean versions!

You won't know whether he has failed on the first until this is all over. He's been following advice, and you would be the first to criticise him if he hadn't.
