Apologies if I was unclear, but I'm not worried about being understood. It's rare for me to write on the topic.

My frustration is that I always have to guess at writers intention, and that the broader dialogue is confused by this lack of clarity.

This thread exemplifies it - people accused the BearBlog author of being a hypocrite because he says things like "It hurts to believe in open-source and then be bitten by it."

A more charitable read than the hypocrisy accusation is that the BearBlog author never believed in Open Source as intended by the OSI or MIT license, but rather believes in open source as colloquially used, for purposes of software legibility.
