It's a tough question, as each area has different opinions as to how impor …

How to accept an answer if answers are both correct but different?
I'd say there are a few options in this and similar scenarios:
to keep with the idea of "keep it balanced", create your own answer combining what's said to show both sides. Personally I'd create it …
