I was responding to what was said at the time, which was ONLY that the post failed in "acknowledging the strongest parts of the complaint." No accusation of flamebait was raised when I provided my original response.
(And for what it's worth, I don't agree that the post qualifies as flamebait.)
We can certainly disagree about particular calls because they're matters of interpretation. What I was trying to explain is why your argument doesn't work in the general case; that (for me) is the more important point.
