yes but you have to consider that with a religious text there may not have been a single intended interpretation. that’s like half the fun of mysticism after all
The problem is still there though, even if there is multiple possible answers.
Name any of the meals I had on this day 20 years ago. I almost certainly had more than one meal that day. But there still isn’t a path to get to the correct answer.

okay, here’s a better question: does it matter if an interpretation is wrong? just because it is wrong doesn’t mean it can’t still be valuable
If the spiritual elements of it are valued, yes.
just to be clear, your answer is that it matters that an interpretation is wrong if the spiritual elements are valued? could you clarify?
