Oh, I get it. We shouldn't pay any attention to what you actually wrote. We 
should magically read your mind and deduce what you actually meant to say 
which different from what you *specifically* stated. And I apologize for 
mistakenly thinking you were attempting to be factual with regards to your 
assertion. I'll keep that in mind with all your future assertions. 
Appreciate you clearing this up!
