My intent wasn't to offer a correction, in the pursuit of art there are no rights or wrongs- only individual preferences and opinions.
What I have learnt, with respect to shooting pano's, is you will always get a more pleasing result by shooting every frame at the same exposure settings. This gives a far more pleasing result, capturing the natural as it was variations in brightness.
From a technical perspective this is a simple process. Set your camera to manual exposure mode and activate your histogram and overexposure warning indication. Aim at the brightest element in the scene and adjust your shutter speed so the highlights aren't clipped, you will see this by looking at the right of the histogram and the absence of the overexposure warning (zebras). Once the exposure is set go ahead and shoot your frames for the pano.
While you can recover detail from underexposed areas in post this doesn't work for the grossly overexposed areas. Once you exceed the maximum brightness the sensor can record there is nothing to work with.
For extremely contrasts scenes you can shoot several frames at various exposures and blend in post (HDR or masking).
