When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Responses
no, I'd say
the finding is more positive than hypothetical
(unless of course the doubt is conveyed from other elements in the text, but they would still be _other_ elements)

luskie
: I agree with your answer but... why mine was "not correct"? I'm really asking to learn something, or so I hope/I actually answered the question myself, rephrasing was not requested (and, imho, not so straightforward as it was)- thx for your input anyway:)

Dear Luskie! It's just that I prefer (personally) that people actually give the answer, rather than refer elsewhere. Clearly 7 others disagree! No problem, I think

Discussion
it's the only authentic outcome possible.
After the hippie wannabe risks his life at that border crossing,
the girl and her boyfriend escape safely into Canada. He's
achieved his first goal: to understand the meaning of sacrifice. But
has he achieved his second goal? Does he have the woman he
loves? No . . . not until she comes back across the border, tells
him Canada's too cold for her, and drives him off to Woodstock.
It turns out that his sacrifice, and only his sacrifice, could make
her see his quality and win her love.
If this sounds like the gospel of happy endings, well it is. But
I put it to you that if you set out to write an authentic story
without an authentic happy ending, no one will be satisfied.
