  Most of the time, subjective reasons are perfectly acceptable for the
  individual who has to make the choices, and to state them as such is
  quite unproblematic.  They just need to be distinguished from more
  universalizable reasons.  I had hoped you had reasons that could be
  classified as fixable or personal, and we could perhaps do something
  about the fixable ones, but your answer is as complete as it gets.

  Not initially in my view, but certainly not anymore.
