I'm not confusing anything, it's you who has a basic misunderstanding of how this all works.

You don't get to determine the rules and context of communication for other people, you only get to determine them for yourself. I don't mean rules and context in a modern political and/or cultural sense, I mean them in a basic interpretive sense.
