Now you got me confused. You are saying that no one was confused, not even you. Or you say that it was confusing not only for a single person, but for you too?
I'm happy to take the karma hit I'll get for this, but IMO this is emblematic of a large problem with HN, i.e. asinine bike-shedding. I address an unhelpful nitpicking comment and get a nitpicking reply. It's turtles all the way down.
