You mean, I should not have explored the ramifications of what my suspicions might mean to so people might think it's worth actually looking into? What's wrong with that?
I can't help but feel that you feel compelled to defend your original position that I believe was based on a misinterpreting my point and intention.
I saw what I believed might be a problem. I noted it. I noted why. I noted what it might mean to the analysis because if my suspicion as to the reason was correct, it might not be isolated and other items might need a closer look. I did so in a way where I was sure not to claim something as factual when I wasn't certain. What part of that do you think is an inaccurate assessment of what I did or was unwarranted?
Edit: Changed misconstruing to misinterpreting, as that's what I was trying to express, and misconstruing might be interpreted as a purposeful action, which is not what I was trying to express.
