A precis is NOT imprecise. For example, lets say you are talking with a friend. It's that type of precision and accuracy your looking for. THAT is NOT a precis. Every lower-level precis clearly supports those above it.
Nothing is forced.
Every peer-reviewer agrees with the precis. Additionally, the translation and precis cohere. AND, the original text and precis cohere. The original text, the precis, the translation, the translators, the field test people, they all cohere with the hierarchy of precis serving as a focal point. I am NOT subverting the role of the original text.
