SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and they will be dishonored
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'and they will be ashamed' overlaps with position 1; here, 'dishonored' is preferred to avoid repetition and because the verb more specifically means being disgraced or humiliated (per SILEX definition). |
