With or without the nose; i.e., if we did not find out what his real nose looked like, perhaps, if one made similar copy with the same dimensions, and with any nose, no problem.
Oh this could be excellent competition, in a computer simulation, they could try the noses of the peoples of this days, and the winner night take part of the copyright, equivalent to the weight of the sphinx's nose in comparison to the whole weight of the statue. If they did it, I hope my nose do work.

I think the sphinx would look weird with a nose. Plus with all the 'conservation' work they are doing, they are just making it worse. However if they left it, they would make it worse. Still an impressive sight though.

What you have said, perhaps, meant we should leave it until it completely collapses.
It seems you had tried your nose, and it did not fit, and thus you do not want to see other's nose on the Sphinx.
Leave the other try their noses.
