I had already edited my comment to make it non-personal. You saw it just before I fixed it.

  I appreciate the edit, which was definitely an improvement. But "If you're not used to reading academic papers then of course it would confuse you" is still a personal swipe. At least that's how it lands with me (and probably at least some others as well).

    The comment I was replying to was accusing the authors of the paper of intentionally misleading people. In my mind that is someone who is confused and assuming bad faith of the authors without making a genuine effort to understand their paper beyond the headline.

      I hear you, but that's an orthogonal point, in the sense that you should have expressed this without saying something that would land as a swipe with readers.

        Yes agreed
