SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
I was seeing
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'vision of' improperly renders the verb form; in context, the verb with the subject marker means 'I was seeing' or 'I kept looking.' This aligns with the common and silex_definition for active looking/seeing, not just vision as a noun. |
