I fully agree that you could have more information that tells you how to combine the probabilities, but we don’t always have that information, and we need to make a decision anyway. Maybe this means the problem does not have a definitive answer, but I am still trying to decide what I would do.
This is valid. However, for the reasons I am interested in the problem (which I am not going to describe now) I don’t get any to consider those probabilities. Pretend that I am stubborn, and refuse to consider anything other than p and q, but still would like advice on how to combine them.

If I’m the person who came up with probabilities p and q in the first place, surely I know how I came up with those probabilities.
