     I think it is more on the part of the reader. If you are looking for an antagonistic interpretation, you will almost certainly find one. If you are looking for a reasonable interpreation, you will probably find one (assuming that one is there to be found).

     Remember, folks, not everyone does it your way, they may have good reason for not doing it your way, and that does not necessarily invalidate your way. Neither do they do it my way, etc.
