op said everything i would have and then some so 1) heartily seconding their reply down to the letter, but also 2) since i think this bears repeating: i cannot, cannot emphasize enough the benefit of breezing past takes / reads on a given source material you don't agree with, especially if you're not going to engage in their analysis with the same level of care. hit that back button, vent in a private chat with like-minded friends—hell, make your own meta analysis post (precisely what op did, in fact; i've done it too)! all are better uses of your free time online than—at least by all appearances—making a brand new account just to dig up a 5 year old post and try to nail it with a pithy "GOTCHA"
