Yeah, I know. [Too sleepy to be writing emails...] What I want to say
is: when we want to refer to an option, we usually add "option" after
the quoted name (in this case, it won't make sense). I propose to remove
the quotation because the way the sentence is written it seems we are
referring to the task instead of the option.
