I offered it as a suggestion, not as a fact.
Clearly, I have misread your original post, and your answers to me sound defensive and don't seem responsive to the points I raised.
I'm definitely not a perfect reader, but many of us are not as clear as communicators as we think that we are, either in writing or speaking. You are of course free to blame the reader all you want, but one thing I've learned about writing through both professional work and creative writing study/groups, is that you rarely improve as a writer if all you do is get miffed at people for not getting what you had to say. And until you understand why your reader has difficulty getting your meaning, you're not going to be able to fix what's getting in the way of your communication.
Over and out.
