A misunderstanding isn't when somebody don't believe in the same things as you. The GP's source was clearly not going in your direction, yet you acted as if it was by just refusing to understand what it was about. The level of self-delusion is truly incredible.
Suppose someone said the US had a budget surplus and linked to an article showing the opposite. Should I not correct them?
When we are talking about electricity grid subsidies in France and they bring up EU wide gasoline subsidies that’s a rather clear misunderstanding. I could have gone further and talked about subsidies on a per kWh over the lifetime of a power plant rather than the relatively tivial amounts mentioned to keep already built nuclear reactors operating but that’s likely to go above their head.
As I have told you I don’t actually care about correcting the ignorant. At best I get some dark joy at making some people look foolish.
