The short answer
By representing each interpretation as a node with provenance, preserving both positions and their relationships (CITES, SUPPORTS, CHALLENGES, etc.) rather than collapsing them into one. Beit Ha'Vaad's graph is designed to keep disagreement visible, not to merge it into a single 'answer.'
Why people ask this
This is the design principle of the platform's knowledge graph; stating it is the deliverable.
Key terms

What is agreed upon
Conflicting interpretations should be preserved, not collapsed.
Where the disagreement begins
How much structure to impose and when human review is required.
Practical consequences
