Impression ,Judgement

There is one method so, there is not more than one option.Hence, the answewr ":Optins" is automatically rulled out. What the asker has in mind is : "
Your answer shall be praised (i thank you) if you give your judgement/impression of the method. ( so important the case is that the answerer`s reply is appreciated . so There is not just a matter of asking for a simple opinion).The answerer might be in a so high a postition as to be asked about her/his judgement.

What makes you think so?
Peer comment(s):

disagree Tony M : No, just trying to point out that criticism of others' answers is best done in a peer comment to that answer, rather than in your own answer

More catholic than pope?
disagree awilliams : IMO "I would (be) appreciate(d) it" here is simply a polite way to say "let me know" - it *is* just a matter of asking for a simple opinion. "Impression/judgement" is the right idea but I'm not sure it works here.
