I don't think it's an unreasonable interpertation. The OP of this chain read it that way. I read it that way.

If there are two phrasings, and one is read correctly by everyone, and the other is read correctly by half the world, it's the first that is correct.

I have a strong hunch that you, OP, and me don't make everyone. I also don't accept your premise about interpreting a phrase. In different times, "everyone" would consider it correct to say things like race X is superior to race Y. Do you now hold that that claim would be correct too?
