That's not the point. The text anyone, including writes, has a plain sense to it. You write text that a number of people concur on the straightforward meaning of the text. That meaning is not what you say you intend to convey. It would be extraordinarily helpful to give clues we can better understand, if we are not understanding the meaning you intend to convey. It sounds about like this to me. You say A. We seem to agree A->B. Then I ask why you believe B and you say I'm jumping to invalid conclusions. I go back to A and A->B and I still don't get anything that shows me that I misunderstood the syllogism. Usually, the questions I ask are met with silence and another tact is given instead. I'm not trying to put you to the question, I'm just trying to figure things out. By asking questions, I hope I can fit what you write into a framework. Dan M.
