Just look at this message board to see how much people will (naively or willfully) twist the meaning of what they read. pg has written about this as well [1] ... How he finds himself being extra careful about what he writes, trying to anticipate the ways that people will misunderstand what he's trying to say.
[1] Can't find the citation right now... Perhaps someone can provide the link in a reply.
