No, that is an uncharitable interpretation.

- learnstats2 6y agoI set out my interpretation and I was inviting you to clarify.
- incrudible 6y agoConsider that "the legal system ideally ought to exist for the benefit of capital owners who commit fraud" is an opinion that is so absurd, not even a capital owner who commits fraud could possibly hold it. Therefore, either you are calling me an idiot in a rather obtuse fashion, or you're confused about the proper way to interpret another person's standpoint. The principle of charity tells me that the latter interpretation must be preferred. I invite you to apply this principle in kind.
