This is just "classic" (but avoidable) miscommunication. I don't even disagree with you on your point! I'm only saying you are not reading my point in the context it was offered.

For more background, please read Rapoport's Rules : https://themindcollection.com/rapoports-rules/

> Rapoport’s Rules, also known as Dennett’s Rules, is a list of four guidelines that detail how to interpret arguments charitably and criticise constructively. The concept was coined by philosopher Daniel C. Dennett in his book Intuition Pumps. Dennett acknowledged our proclivity to misinterpret and attack a counterpart’s argument instead of engaging meaningfully with what was actually said.
