Hi Sky, Ski here...
You wrote, "What do you all think about changing things in the score" so it seemed that you were asking a general question about taking liberties, using the Debussy as an example without intending to dwell on that particular piece; so I offered an opinion accordingly.
As a composer myself, I must admit that seeing a question asking if it's OK to change some things about a score raised a few hackles. But they didn't stay up for long.
I also said, "Musicians have tradition and interpretation to contend with when performing..." so if you're hearing consistent interpretations of specific phrases in recordings that are not notated as such on the score, well, indeed you have that to contend with, as I stated
But it seems that you want some particular direction on the Debussy piece, so I'll bow out of the conversation. But in principle, I'll keep with my original opinion as a general way of approaching the subject.
