Hi Rocilito! Here �s the longman online dictionary definition: jus‧ti‧fy past tense and past participle justified, present participle justifying, third person singular justifies [transitive]
1 to give an acceptable explanation for something that other people think is unreasonable:
Ministers must appear before parliament and justify their actions.
justify doing something
How can we justify spending so much money on arms?
justify yourself (=prove that what you are doing is reasonable)
I don �t have to justify myself to you or anyone else.
2 to be a good and acceptable reason for something:
Nothing justifies murdering another human being.
3 technical to arrange lines of words on a page or computer screen so that they form a straight edge on both the right and left sides Hope this helps

Hi Rocilito,
From the (very) general context you are providing, I would suggest: I will support my choice on the theory...
Don �t know... Hope it helps
