No, you're confused, because this is confusing:

https://unlicense.org/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unlicense

So if something is unlicensed (no license) you would be correct, but if something is unlicensed (unlicensed license) you would be incorrect...

Just because someone decided to be cheeky and call their license "unlicensed," doesn't mean I'm confused about what license are or aren't... If I wrote a license that granted no rights and decided to call it "Public Domain (TM)," would you also berate people who explained to other what actual "public domain" means?
I didn't berate you at all, my comment was pointing out the confusing naming of the unlicense. It was pretty obvious that I was being cheeky in my previous comment.
