Your appeal to the authority of translation committees doesn’t address the actual issue, because the question isn’t whether scholars are competent but whether their interpretive choices can be examined and tested against the underlying texts, and dismissing that scrutiny as naïve simply avoids the scholarly discussion rather than engaging it
My takeaway from Pilgrim's post was that there is good reason to trust the "interpretive choices" of the hundreds of competent scholars who have made the various translations, who presumably engaged in the same deliberations/discussions you and rew are having.
