Fair enough. I took you as speaking more in your own voice, and less as adopting the OP's interpretive frame, than I think you meant to be. (To be clear, I fully endorse adopting the interpretive frame of a post while responding to it, I just misunderstood the extent to which you were doing so.)

Hmm, I thought I was speaking in my own voice, such as it is. In my instrumental approach "should" implies an attempt to manipulate outputs, specifically the ones leading to someone else's (modeled) outputs, not just a passive evaluation.
