Are you even reading what I'm saying? I've never made any claim of the sort. Maybe you can try to restate what I am claiming?

Honestly, with this lack of attention to detail, I think it's quite likely that--as implausible as this might seem a priori--I do in fact know what you're saying better than you do.

It's almost impossible for me to know what you mean better than you do, but the interpretation of what you say is not merely a matter of your intent. (See, for instance, this XKCD cartoon.)

Are you familiar with Critical Discourse Analysis?
