Weasel words!
Guilty! I see it as "inviting the querent into consideration of the possibilities, without rigidly scripting the scenario."
Seriously, though, the objective of the original post was to solicit some more creative weasel-words, not to discount their usefulness, but what I'm getting is mostly denial. I believe choosing the right delivery is important to giving the impression of flexibility ("not carved in stone," etc.) and therefore choice within the more-or-less fluid outlines of the situation. I see tarot as more qualitative than quantitative in most circumstances.
