SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
you have laid
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'Have laid' better fits the idiomatic and contextual meaning (placement of a body), aligning with the common rendering and the silex_definition. 'Set in place' is overly formal for the context. |
