Reading for intent is pragmatic.
Reading adversarially is what people do who are looking for ways that something can be abused, from an offensive or defensive position.
Personally I am tired of the entire topic.

What's bad is when your compiler writers and most of the people involved in standardisation are reading it adversarially.
It's bad when compiler writers want to optimize correct code as much as possible, which is something their actual customers keep asking for?
When would optimizing correct code be harmed by not abusing UB (beyond its original intent, e.g. array access should be without overhead of checking for overflow)?
