I understood it as intended, but I can see how people would read it that way. It has roughly the structure of a "it's just x with y baggage" comment at the outset and could trip that wire in the mind of someone who doesn't finish reading before commenting. edit: more comments appeared while I was drafting. I guess it never hurts to have the same feedback framed different ways...
