What is the meaning of the statement regarding the prostration for forgetfulness: "let him seek the correct action"?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : If he intends to be correct, is the correct action what is stronger in his opinion, or is it the lesser amount?

Answer : No, the correct action is what is stronger in his opinion, because the word "seek" (yataharra) indicates that he acts according to the stronger position. However, if seeking the correct action is not possible, then he takes the lesser amount.
