I realized after I posted the parent comment that I was trying to accommodate the critical comments even though I wasn't at all sure they were right.

It strikes me as at least a pretty good visualization exercise. Apparently, I was reading much too fast and didn't see it.

Yeah, I'm not sure the critical comments were fully right, but I do see the benefit in making the writing more positive in tone to avoid negative associations with donating.
