I guess you're right, I did blame the readers. Sorry about that. I don't think it's your fault, really. It's primarily my fault for writing a sentence that did not effectively express my intention.
Edit: I was just thinking about why I said I wasn't blaming anyone, and I think the reason is that I didn't feel like I was blaming anyone, even though I really was. I thought (only semi-consciously) that since I know what I meant, you should also know what I meant. Of course, the only way for that to work is if I express myself clearly, which I obviously didn't.
For every one hickey, what do you suppose is the number of readers who have no problem understanding what you wrote?
Lesswrong is far from monolithic, and it is a mistake to think AndrewHIckey speaks for the whole of it.
I don't know. If I thought the sentence would lead to confusion, I would have written it differently. It's hard to judge how much other people will understand my own writing because I understand it perfectly, and I don't know how much common background I share with most others.
Did you understand it?
