Take a look at who's posting it.

Er, yes, that's exactly why I wasn't sure.

I'm confused, then; are you trying to argue with the author or the character?

If the character isn't deliberately made confused (as opposed to paperclip-preferring, for example), resolving character's confusion presumably helps the author as well, and of course the like-confused onlookers.
