The last paragraph takes a step back to talk about how one interpretation, no matter the author's original intent, does not necessarily supersede the other. Basically, they are careful to point out that your interpretation of the poem is just as valid as any other. The sentiment of this article is expressed extremely clearly... we're not all idiots, illiterate, or suckers... > Any alternative interpretations of this poem are from 'smarter-than-thou' morons who want to show off how they are more educated and intelligent than you. I'm not sure how you could get more narrow-minded and "smarter-than-thou" than this very statement.
