I agree, with the caveat that an appropriately explicitly flagged as a deliberate reinterpretation which clearly differs from the intended meaning, is something that I think can be artfully done, to good effect. But when doing this, one should be clear that this alternate meaning is to be attributed to either the person doing the reinterpretation, or to a fictional character of their creation, merely inspired by original quote.
