Phrase
"The parties agree that the opinion of an expert appointed by Pemex-Gas, or any other authoritative means of verification, will determine violations of..."
The other definition is perfect, except that it fails to consider the context. The problem is not the word but the sentence, which is far too cumbersome for English.

If translation were a matter of replacing phrases in one language with equivalent phrases in another, I would have my computer do all the work. My social life would be much richer, and I would have more time to sell my services. Alas, that is not the case.
Here we have two phrases that, according to the dictionary, ought to be \"expert assessment\" and \"authoritative means of proof (evidence).\" But we can\'t stop there. We have to bend and shape the dictionary definition to fit the context.
