I understand my reasons is, perhaps, convoluted and little erroneous

Hi

Please edit the following text. Thanks a lot.

I understand my reasons is, perhaps, convoluted and little erroneous but I'm sure you can see beyond what I wrote and abstract/extract the correct bits of information and fill the gaps between them to make the reasoning really sophistocated.

Regards

Thanks a lot, Clive.

Is it any better now? Which one fits better: abstract or extract? Please help me with it.

Hi, again,

Now I don't think "abstract" fits in this context; which means to make a general case out of a specific case. But "extract" would do. What is your opinion. I'm using unedited incorrect version of the text only to understand the suitability of using "abstract". Thanks.

Hi,

Of the two, I'd choose 'extract'.

The abstract sense of the word 'abstract' does not fit well with the concrete sense of 'bits of information'.

Thank you.

I'm sorry but I don't see how #2 fits there. I'm simply requesting the reader to only the consider the parts which are correct and leave out incorrect material. I'm not asking for any kind of 'abstraction'. Please help me with it.

Hi,

Find the right bits of information and then get ideas from them that fit into a line of reasoning. A line of reasoning is an abstract thing.

You are pressing me to justify the use of words that I wouldn't choose myself. But I don't mind.
