I didn't defend that claim, I agree that it's ridiculous.
I was responding to this accusation, which I think is also ridiculous:
> I am baffled by the number of people on this website, who I assume have rudimentary reading comprehension, getting confused [..]
It's hard to admit publicly that you're confused by something. It's easy to call people who do so idiots, "ha! i did understand it so you must be stupid!". You didn't use those kinds of words but you did imply it and I didn't think it was good style.
