It's definitely not obvious if you spout off something that sounds like a platitude without elaboration that you actually only mean something very specific (let alone what specifically you mean), and while you're correct that you're not actually obligated to do so, you should provide some explanation if you have any interest in communicating effectively. Failing to do so is likely to lead to misunderstandings. But you've repeatedly missed opportunities to explain your position, even dodging explicit requests for clarification. That seems more like bad faith than just not reading your mind correctly.
