That reminds me of a story of a student who got a homework "Explain the writer's intention". The writing was her father's work. So naturally, she asked her dad for the answer which he replied, "I was thinking at the time of this writing was that I want to finish this goddamn writing ASAP".
She present the answer next day and teacher gave her a bad grade.
That's cute but one single thought he had is not even close to a description of overall intent.
I guess the author is wrong then.
