This is not a valid argument. Just because an interpretation is dominant does not make it correct. If anything, saying an interpretation is \\\"dominant\\\" will make me \\\'\\\'less\\\'\\\' likely to think it is correct if it is your primary argument.
[[quoteblock]]Because your remarks about alternative translations of 11:40 only point out possibilities. Even if it is possible that the intended meaning of 11:40 is \\\"give commendation\\\" or \\\"talk with\\\" etc., that still does not mean it is the intended meaning. The intended meaning could be \\\"to mourn\\\", \\\"to commemorate\\\", after all.[[/quoteblock]]
The opposite is also possible, that the intended meaning is \\\"give commendation\\\" or \\\"talk with\\\", and the others are not. If there is no bias shown based on which interpretation is dominant or mainstream, than there is no reason to consider this one dubious or exclude it.

Of the list of verses you mention, the first does not refer to human sacrifice, and the rest \'\'all\'\' mention that the action was displeasing to God. While God does not demand the vow, God showing his support to Jephthah meant that he in fact \'\'did\'\' endorse the vow. If the end result of Jephthah\'s vow did in fact displease him, he would \'\'not\'\' have ensured Jephthah\'s victory. And God would not endorse a practice that was in direct violation of the Mosaic Law. This chapter has a very different context than the verses you listed.
